QLocal's reporter Roger Blaxall was intrigued to get this e-mail yesterday afternoon:

'Hi,

There is a chap protesting outside the show homes for Taylor Wimpey on the road to Burscough.

Huge sign saying 'Taylor Wimpey ruins lives' with pictures. Presumably he has bought a house that isn't 100% on the estate

You may want to go past and see what his story is.'

I did, but too late! In the meantime, I've been trying to track him down; if anyone knows who he is please contact me either via email or on my mobile: rogertblaxall@hotmail.com / 07543 955 841
