AN avid reader of the The Fiji Times wrote a letter about the signing of a petition against the development of Shirley Park in Lautoka last year and earned herself The Letter of the Year title for 2014.

Kavita Chandra’s letter titled “Signing a Petition” was about the petition signed by more than 520 Lautoka City ratepayers.

“I have always been someone that likes to talk about issues that not only concern me and the people of Lautoka but those of national interest as well,” she said.

“So when I read an article that quoted the Lautoka CEO Jone Nakauvadra saying they received a ‘few’ signatures when more than 520 people signed that petition, I felt a need to voice my opinion.

“I read The Fiji Times every day and when I read something that deeply concerns me, I make it a point to write to the editor.”
