Sir – Residents and county councillors must be bemused by the latest episode in the planning enforcement action taken against the owners of Waterstock Golf Course (Jailed brothers are facing asset seizure, May 22). And if not, they should be.

Councillors should have the additional concern that they might be responsible for an extraordinary miscarriage of justice.

What possible reason do they think there could be for the Wyatt brothers to allow their assets taken by the council to see it being spent on trashing their carefully restored site in a fishing expedition for waste?

Has it not crossed their minds that Ron Wyatt has been telling the truth when saying that the imported waste had been dutifully removed?

Any doubts could be put by councillors to their officer who was instructed to assist the Wyatts in finding and removing waste and, following the digging of trial pits, confirmed there was none left.

If Paul Smith, the county council spokesman, is accurately reported in the paper as saying that the Wyatts: “Have taken no steps to remove the waste”, then Oxfordshire County Council should make a public retraction and apology.
