yeah i noticed on the council website that they post up recent planning appications so i have sent out about 20 letters in the last 2 weeks.. no response yet but pretty sure i will get something in the end if i keep working away it at. i wrote a letter... made up the logo and such in photoshop can show u the letter if u like ?? maybe u can give me an opinion on it... i just introduced myself briefly.... and went on with what we want to provide the customer... good quality workmanship , reliablity and communication and stuff and put a link to my small online workportfolio at the bottom of the letter!
