Let’s get on with building the cinema town needs

6:00pm Thursday 2nd February 2012

Hear, Hear Mrs Millard, how right you are. The Bowyers development had the potential to shine a huge spotlight on our great market town and the potential it has.

Access a minefield

6:00pm Thursday 2nd February 2012

Regarding last week’s story about the disabled teenager’s transport problems: this is a story that is a Catch 22 as everyone is in a difficult spot.

A fair report please

6:00pm Thursday 2nd February 2012

In reference to your article titled ‘Bus Trauma For Disabled Teenager’: the article states that Miss Brook has been repeatedly ‘refused’ access to the bus which she uses to get to college. It also states that the First bus drivers ‘turned her away’.

Wonder at website

6:00pm Thursday 2nd February 2012

In reply to Mr Apsey’s criticism that the new Melksham Without Parish Council website has only a list of councillors (Wiltshire Times, January 13) please log in to www.melkshamwithout.co.uk, and see for yourself.

It’s wrong to say yellow lines are needed

6:00pm Thursday 2nd February 2012

In last week’s Wiltshire Times report of the residents’ campaign against extending parking restrictions in Eastbourne Road and Harford Street in Trowbridge, a Wiltshire Council spokesman is quoted as saying “the double yellow lines were needed to improve access for emergency services and waste crews”.

Hunting ‘an outrage’

6:00pm Thursday 2nd February 2012

With reference to the letters in the Wiltshire Times (January 20 and January 27), concerning the waiving of traffic restrictions in Lacock for the Boxing Day meet of the Avon Vale Hunt, I am in complete agreement with the comments made by John Lauder.

How many at meet?

6:00pm Thursday 2nd February 2012

Surely Jonathon Seed and RL Tonge, Jan 27, are confirming a point Mr Lauder made, that the tax payers are funding any extra services needed by problems caused by a single issue group like the blood sports fraternity, whereas if any other organisation want to hold a gathering that would cause traffic or other problems as highlighted by R L Tonge, they would have to fund it in part or in total, also how many others who breached parking laws would be just given a warning.

Complaint justified

6:00pm Thursday 2nd February 2012

The essence of the complaint by John Lauder (WT, January 20), was that his business in Trowbridge was suffering from the near-universal car parking charges imposed by Wiltshire Council, while the council supported the Lacock Boxing Day Hunt with parking attendants effectively acting as stewards at our expense.

Can anyone help?

6:00pm Thursday 2nd February 2012

Could you print this letter for me in the hope of finding a friend of mine, John Rae, living in Westbury.

Support appreciated

Last year, more than £50,000 was raised in Wiltshire for CLIC Sargent, the UK’s leading cancer charity for children and young people. The money was raised through individuals, local corporates and community voluntary groups in Wiltshire.
