As there are only six shops in the precinct, a cannabis coffee shop would certainly put Witham on the map but to whose detriment? There is a junior school 50 metres to one side and retirement bungalows to the other. It would draw all the pot-smokers from far and wide. Where does this Chris Philbin live anyway? Let him fight for one on his own doorstep! If any readers wish to send or bring in their letters of protest to me at the address below, I would be more than happy to submit them to the Council on their behalf Spa Road precinct has cleaned up dramatically in the past year. lets keep it that way. Nip it in the bud now! J Greenway, Witham - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Stevens
