'There has been much debate over who will be the next James Bond' - Your Letters: May 30

There has been much debate over who will be the next James Bond.

Whoever takes on the role, I challenge the successor to drive safely from the junction of St Winefride’s RC church to the junction of Galton Drive. This section is extremely unsafe due to multiple potholes, tyres failing and suspense damaged. It requires extensive work, not just remedial “fill it in then white lines appear a few days later”.

FLAGGING UP A REFORM ISSUE

I have returned to the comfort of my rainbow-coloured cushion situated on 'The Red Wall'; having just raised my yellow and blue flag showing my solidarity with all Ukrainians.

However, it is rumoured that in Little Brexitshire, a council controlled by Reform UK, that only the Union Jack, the flag of Saint George and the county standard will be flown on their flag-pole.

Pride flags, pennants supporting diversity and the colours of the Little Brexitshire Mangelwurzel Growers will not be allowed to adorn the flag-pole on County Hall.

This is a far cry from, 'Stop the Boats'. It seems for all Reforms' bluster their fiercest battles are with foreign fabric and banners, and the tyranny of diversity and wokeness; rather than borders and the promises that put them in power to bring about reform.

NIMBYISM MUST BE OVERCOME

It must be nice having a lovely home of your own you've worked hard for that was allowed to be built. Then popping out and come home proud in the knowledge that you've done your bit in protesting to try and prevent others from achieving the same by opposing the building of new homes.

The 'less deserving' seeking a home and homeless have no voice. UK at its best. Things need to change, nothing should interfere with the action to build the hundreds of thousands of new homes required.

MERGER WOULD DRAIN MONEY

Jamie Russel (8 May), Shropshire is in £39m debt because of woeful mismanagement of council taxpayers money buying up worthless shopping centres and wanting a new headquarters etc etc, not because of the northern relief road 'consultants fees' as claimed. Any merger of Telford & Wrekin with Shropshire would rapidly drain funds from T&W into the money pit of Shropshire, just like Shrewsbury keeps siphoning off services from Princess Royal Hospital despite T&W having a much larger and faster growing population than Shrewsbury area, who seem to serve mid-wales population more than English NHS.
