George,

Have you had an opportunity to look into any of the concerns I have raised
with you regarding my family's dispossession from land at Llandough?

Might we be able to achieve even the smallest task together in trying to
unravel what I allege may have involved fraud, concealment, mistakes, or
other wrongdoing surrounding my family's loss of possession of land there?

It is land that my family claimed to own, and that claim has never, to my
knowledge, been extinguished or determined against us by a court.

The possibility of errors relating to my grandmother's and father's deaths,
court mistakes, Land Registry mistakes, the dismissal of my father's appeal
against the 1987 ruling, the rejection of the ECHR application, and Cadw's
inaction do not alter the central point: my family's claim to ownership of
the land itself has never been properly adjudicated upon or defeated.

I may even have an interest in Church View Close. I am raising concerns
about what could amount to a major scandal in the manner in which my family
and I were dispossessed of land there. Your lack of response, together with
a number of unusual or contradictory responses I have received from other
parties connected with the matter, has not reassured me that there is a
willingness to examine these issues openly.

If evidence was destroyed, if mistakes were made, or if fraud or
concealment occurred, I am sure you would prefer to assist in establishing
the truth rather than be perceived as defending or perpetuating any
wrongdoing.

Would you at least be willing to help with the more limited task of
identifying when the tree planted by my family was removed? From what I can
gather, the tree planting commemorated our claim to absolute title over our
plot of land. Its removal could arguably represent the destruction of
evidence connected with that claim.
