I would like to add my voice to the excellent letter from Mr Butler (September 26). I support every point which he made and would like to add two comments.Firstly, despite the council claims that this was the only available site, there is a layby of almost equal size just below the amenity site on Valley Road which would be much more suitable and have the benefit of moving the storage facility to a less obtrusive location.Further, whilst recognising the service that the snack bar has provided to the local travelling public, it should be added that it enables the owner to earn a legitimate income which has now been put at risk. I am not aware of any sustainable argument in favour of the council decision and have not seen any letters supporting it.Brian Raybould - South Road, Portishead
