I was heartened to read the story about 12-year-old Callum McHale and his battle to save the countryside from being covered in yet more housing (The Argus, March 17).
He deserves every success not only for the principles behind his campaign but for demonstrating it is never too soon to start taking an interest in your community and your country.
As Neil Dyson mentions (Letters, March 14), there is no disputing we have a population crisis.
However, this crisis has not been created by the indigenous population but by uncontrolled immigration.
If building is allowed to continue at the current rate then Callum will have to rely on showing his children photographs of our beautiful English countryside because there will be none of it left for them to see.
