Dear Anne-Marie,

Thank you for taking up my case and copying me your letter to Martin Swales, CEO, South Tyneside Council.

I think you have to be very specific about which end of the shelter you refer to when talking about the height. The fall along the length of the shelter is about 3m and this coincidentally is the height of overbuild. If you have not said that the planned height (15.5m) is the river end of the shelter, Mr Swales, if he follows the arguments of Messrs Cunningham, Atkinson and Mansbridge before him, will say it refers to the road end.

I will send you a letter, as soon as possible, confirming this email. I will copy it to Mr Swales, carefully making this observation.

your sincerely
Michael Dawson
