CASE FOR CANNABIS

I AM agitated by Colchester councillor Tim Young's comments (Gazette, August
8) regarding David Beard's stall in Lion Walk, Colchester.

Is this campaign against Mr Beard supported by Colchester Constituency
Labour Party?

Mr Young says he wants Colchester Council officers to review Mr Beard's
licence. The effect would be to deny Mr Beard his right to earn an honest
living regardless of the loss of taxes, rent and rates he pays.

We would be pleased to join with Mr Young in an open debate on his concerns
and the complex issues involved when talking about cannabis; he can name the
time and place.
