THE Northern Echo reported that villagers of Nunthorpe wished to return to North Yorkshire (Echo, May 11).

However, this poll only covered half of the villagers.

The many inhabitants of Nunthorpe who live east of the railway line, and who languish under Redcar and Cleveland, have not been polled as to their wishes.

I suspect a majority would like to join with those to the west of the railway and to have Nunthorpe reunited again as part of the North Yorkshire County Council area.
