SO the council is as soon as once more embarking on a grand scheme to enhance infrastructure, this time for strolling and biking (The Press, December 17).

Perhaps they might be higher off beginning with getting the fundamentals proper?

Take this photograph of a publish erected in Tang Corridor Lane a number of months in the past, it could not have been put in a worse place and as but it would not actually have a signal on it!

Or how about tackling vehicles which might be parked on footpaths and cycleways?

Or how concerning the state of pavements and roads?

Our legislators simply love grand schemes however I for one would really like them far more if they simply ensured that what we have already got is sorted !

Water leak is ‘accident ready to occur’

FOR a few weeks now water has been seeping out from a earlier try and restore a water leak within the highway on Lord Mayors Stroll.

Not a flood however sufficient to cowl the highway with a movie of water, not an actual downside you’ll suppose however it’s located on Lord Mayors Stroll subsequent to the Bile Beans wall artwork and on the forehead of the hill, flowing down in direction of the Monkgate site visitors lights.

The primary frost and the hill will turn out to be a treacherous ice rink, it is an accident ready to occur.

With dashing site visitors approaching the site visitors lights it would not naked to think about the results as automobiles skid down the highway.

It must be repaired with nice urgency – a sew in time, saves 9.

Labour supporter ought to be a part of the panto or circus

I FEEL I have to aspect with common Press correspondent Matthew Laverack and agree wholeheartedly along with his feedback about your southern correspondent Geoffrey Brooking’s fixed apologetic choices on the Labour celebration.

The final paragraph on one providing (The Press, December 9) made me snort out loud, quote: “Sir Keir Starmer is making our nation revered on the world stage once more and on the house entrance Sir Keir Starmer is making Britain nice once more”.

Contemplate the most recent ballot on voting intentions: some 61 per cent of the voting inhabitants are utterly dissatisfied with what the Labour Social gathering are doing to our nation.

As it’s the pantomime season, I’d recommend Mr Geoffrey Brooking ought to waste no time in auditioning as one of many clowns, or perhaps a joker if there’s a Panto that makes use of these characters, or would a circus be extra becoming?
