Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sir: I have a great deal of sympathy for the Greens. However, any company replacing windows in a listed building should either take advice from the local planning department or advise their prospective customer to do so.

Although legally the responsibility lies with Mr and Mrs Green, morally the responsibility has to fall on the shoulders of the company that carried out the work. It is their duty to be aware of the rules and regulations regarding listed buildings.

Yours faithfully,

ANN V. OWEN
