Letters

Letter: What happened to bicycle bells?

Whatever happened to the cycle bell? When I walk the dog I very often use footpaths, which a few years ago were re-designated as footpaths/cycle paths and the permissive right was given to cyclists to share the walkway with pedestrians.

Letter: We have a right to be angry over soaring cost of energy

Power station stock

As the number of people requiring the support of food banks increases to half a million, our worthies in Westminster loudly debate yet another topic which ought really to irritate the electorate even more than all of the bizarre political excitement about gay marriage.

Letter: Missing out on motorhome through no fault of my own

I write this letter to my local MP and the Prime Minister, to bring to their attention the problems and unjustified cost I encountered in my effort to maintain a section of my driving licence, and the reasons I can no longer drive that class of vehicle through no fault of my own.

Letter: Badger cull must be halted

badger - stock

We support the Shropshire Wildlife Trust and other wildlife experts such as David Attenborough, Chris Packham and Bill Odie, who are opposed to killing wildlife.

Letter: Badger supporters can’t face inconvenient truth on wildlife
