ISSUES relating to the new housing development in Ullswater are causing concern among residents (Postbox, March 19) and their clear frustration with the disruption they have endured is understandable.
However, far from failing to acknowledge these concerns, we are working closely with the developers and - just as importantly - the local government ombudsman.
