Letter: Housing priority

For those who are concerned about the social and economic development of the towns and villages in Strathspey where people wish to live and work, it is depressing that Roy Turnbull (Letters, 10 January) should regard the sterilisation of a tiny part of the massive Cairngorms National Park as more important than the provision of housing - including badly needed affordable housing.

Let us hope that, when they next consider the matter, the board of the National Park Authority gives the proposed Boat of Garten development the go ahead.
