SINCE when have petty minded people been allowed to dictate to councils regarding other people keeping animals, especially cockerels, on their allotments?
Cockerels have been a fixture on the allotments in Cockerton since 1950 - long before these people moved in.
We kept hens and cockerels in the gardens and there were never any complaints.
How selfish and childish are these people - demanding the allotment-holders should kill off their birds just to satisfy their whims.
It's a pity they have nothing better to do.
The council should stand up to them.
Margaret Glew and Judith Kirkbride, Darlington.
