Two long-standing residents of Thurston have explained why they back enforcement action against a farm, saying the council has a duty to protect our remaining open countryside .
Mark Byford and Sue Smith launched a campaign to save their Field of Dreams farm after Mid Suffolk District Council pressed for them to comply with planning - or face prosecution - but nearby residents Gerry Woollard and Christine Clark have come out in support of the authority.
Two of the polytunnels on the site are permitted.
He said nearly 2,500 people had signed petitions to save the farm and more than £2,500 had been raised, which could be used to pay for a potential legal battle.

Mr Byford said: We might be here and be custodians, but the volunteers that come on site from Duke of Edinburgh and Prince s Trust and the schools and everyone who uses it will lose it as a service.

The 109,741 complaints the BBC has received over its coverage of the Duke of Edinburgh s death has set a new record. Yet it is not the first time the BBC has been criticised for its coverage of a royal death.
In 2002, a number of newspapers expressed fury about the BBC following the announcement of the death of the Queen Mother. It was accused of lacking respect and deference. One particular target was the newsreader, Peter Sissons who wore a burgundy rather than a black tie when reporting the news.
