Your article "Social housing champion forced to sell his home" (The Argus, November 27) implied Mr Barnard was driven from his home by local yobs.

This was misleading as the problems were not caused by the local youngsters but by outsiders visiting the estate to buy drugs.

Mr Barnard has always had a good relationship with the local youngsters, most of whom he has known since birth and worked with on many occasions.
