Thanks to voters

THROUGH your pages, we would like to take the opportunity to thank all the people of Lostock & Wincham who supported us with their votes in the local elections last Thursday. Although we were not successful on this occasion, everyone's support was

Help was wonderful

I WOULD like to say a big thank you to the two gentlemen who so kindly stopped to help after the car accident on May 7, (New Warrington Road at 5.30pm). I didn't get either name, but both were really helpful even though it was pouring down with rain.

Euro is the biggest threat facing this country

THE Euro is the biggest threat to our right to live in a nation state since the two world wars. How many people in this land want a new currency forced on them? Why will we need our own parliament when we are going to be controlled from Brussels? At least

I WAS shocked when I heard the news that Mr Martin Bell MP had received a threat against his life.

What is the world coming to when MPs have to deal with such things. It is particularly worrying due to the recent death of Jill Dando. I am sure I speak for many people when I say that our thoughts are with him and his beautiful wife Fiona at this time

Did he - or didn't he?

THE leading article in the Guardian of May 5 states "Martin Bell carried out his public duties over the Bank Holiday weekend - despite receiving a death threat." The Chronicle of the same date carries a headline on page 5 "Martin Bell cancels visit to

It only takes a minute to clear up

I AM in full agreement with your correspondent who was outraged by the lack of hygiene which a majority of dog owners display. As a dog owner myself I am very aware of the trouble and try very hard to clean up after my pooch, Judy, an alsatian, who is

Nor everyone agrees with No Ball Games signs

IN reply to the letter published in your paper on April 28 from Mr B Dearden and the comment he made about "the village youngsters who are a good bunch with the exception of a few who want to spoil things." I feel that the village residents are generally

Mind boggles at silly Euro-crats

AFTER reading your article on another European ruling about putting herbal remedies on prescription - the mind boggles as to what else these faceless, nameless, irresponsible people in Brussels who are slowly bleeding this country to death, can do. A

Mark makes moves

NORTHWICH Vics manager Mark Gardiner has started his summer reshuffle. He has released Dean Greygoose, Carwyn Williams and Jamie Webster and targeted two midfielders as he bids to transform Vics into a trophy-winning team. "We have got some good players

Poppy needs you

BEATEN and abused, kicked in the face until she lost two teeth, just for messing in the house, Poppy was mortally afraid of all human contact. This five-year-old dog was so traumatised when she came to Breed Rescue UK, that she couldn't walk and screamed

Plan would have cleared Octel site

ONE or two points of correction to the letters you published in response to the letter from Councillor Willington and myself. Councillors Fellows and McEllin should be informed that, although the Lib Dems on the county council may have voted against Longwood

Shame on you

I THINK we've witnessed enough of the Conservative Party's community spirit over the past 20 years - their shameless ignorance of society's needs, their shameful habit of turning their backs on those made redundant and their policies forcing people into

Always up in the air

I SUPPOSE elections do sometimes bring out the silly side of people but some public pronouncements by the Lostock Liberals take the biscuit. Only a few weeks after their colleagues on the borough council voted for the council's budget with no objections

Fed up with cats using garden as a toilet

I AM writing with regard to R W Woodward's letter in last week's Guardian. I am a responsible dog owner and have been for some time. I take great care in training my dog to do his duties in the correct place. If cat owners are so intelligent then perhaps

COFFEE FLOWS AS BILL TAKES FINAL BOW

AT times it was only the coffee flowing freely. After an initial burst, the results stopped coming and the remaining candidates could do nothing but wait, dry of mouth and hopeful of heart. The only truly relaxed faces belonged to the candidates standing

THIS is Local Newspaper Week, a celebration of community papers like your very own Northwich Guardian. Weekly papers aren't like the national press or TV. We can't provide up-to-the-minute coverage of national news - and neither would we want to. But
