The kind letter is below,

Have no fear that the labours of good men like John Franklyn go unnoticed and unappreciated. Their achievements tend not to be properly applauded until long after the event.

What he has done is to galvanise change by his innovative use of the internet as a means of bringing the council and individuals to account.

It didn't go unopposed and serious efforts were made to discourage him, but he wasn't deflected.

From little acorns, mighty oaks do grow. Congratulations and thank you John.
