It seems to us that, of all people, members of the local council should acknowledge and respect the area that they work for and the residents that live here.
In any event, fields that are ploughed are in use, are achieving something, they are providing for us, not only as a source of food and employment but in the case of the Green belt Redbridge wish to destroy, rapeseed.
Rapeseed is the third-largest source of vegetable oil and second-largest source of protein meal.
Crops of rapeseed, were among the earliest plants to be cultivated by mankind as early as 10,000 years ago.

Walk upon Englands mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On Englands pleasant pastures seen!
(William Blake)
