  COULD I through your columns, offer a little advice to the 'planners' and 'inspectors' regarding housing development? read more

• More plain speaking please

  HE GUARDIAN reports the comments by Clr. Gartside about the Labour Council budget. They have a distinct whiff of smugness, tinged with arrogance. No mention of the sale of the waste disposal business because it was making too much money! Or the enormous amounts of money being borrowed by the council to go unitary. Or the amounts being spent on council ego trips such as the Wolves "rescue" plan. We now have involvement in the Peace Initiative/Project. read more

• Let there be light

  I READ with interest, "Proud Warringtonians" comments regarding Kingsway Bridge and have wondered for some time if it would be possible for someone to speak to the owners of the other major waterway in the town, to do something with lighting the four crossings. read more

• Linked by association - nothing else

  EVERY good scientist knows about cause and effect - where one thing leads directly to another - and association, where two things have no connection at all but are placed side by side in order to make it appear as though there is a connection. read more

• Planting lots of trees

  "TREE lover" (letters, January 29) will be pleased to know that in the past two years the Grappenhall and Thelwall Parish Council has planted trees (with help from members of the public) at the playing fields at Barley Road and Euclid Avenue and outside the Barley Road shops. The Council also supported the Woodland Trust politically and financially in its bid to plant the Millennium Wood near Grappenhall Village. read more

• Should be proud auditor is satisfied

  I WOULD like to respond to the letter in last week's GUARDIAN, criticising the local authority in relation to its 'Management Speak.' The local authority was recently congratulated by other organisations and the District Auditor in relation to the clarity of the Community Plan, which was recently published. read more

• Postal service no good

  BIG DEAL, second class postage stamps have been reduced by 1p. It should have been quartered and so should have first class, the service is disgusting. I remember, during the war, posting letters in a morning to Blackpool RAF and getting a reply the next day. The delivery is very poor indeed and it is time it was investigated and the customers told why. Postage should be delivered by 7.30am to 8.00am not after 9am to 10am or 11am. I have seen complaints in many newspapers apart from yours. Our post was no different when they had Christmas cards to deliver so why is it so bad at ordinary times. We asked a postman, who we don't see now, had he overslept? I think it is about time the government stepped in and sorted it out once and for all, but I suppose that is too much to ask. Sometimes it is necessary for people to get post before leaving for work. It has been essential for us at times. read more
