Letters

• Remembrance farce?

  ONCE again, we approach the time of year when military propaganda becomes acceptable - to some. read more

• Hallowe’en a treat

  ALTHOUGH it was sad to read about the goings-on in Calne regarding Hallowe'en, I felt compelled to let you know about children in the Pewsham area. read more

• Writing off elderly?

  REGARDING the Jill Crooks' important article Home Help Crisis, on October 26 , the evidence given by the Director of Age Concern, Wiltshire is serious and worrying. read more

• Thanks for tree

  ON October 19, you published an article concerning the planting of a walnut tree in Calne in memory of the late Roger Angell. read more

• Recognition for clubs

  HAVING read the article on page 15, Gazette November 2, I feel I must take up the statement by Coun Doubell and I quote: "there's absolutely nothing for the young people to do here" unquote. Have she and her colleagues not heard of youth clubs in town? read more

• Box filled with love

  OVER the past three weeks, you have run articles concerning Operation Christmas Child, the shoebox appeal, and I wonder if you would be good enough to give our efforts here in Chippenham a mention. read more

• Golden days better?

  REMEMBER when footballers did not wear gloves and Alice bands or roll their socks up, rather fetchingly, over their knees? read more

• Quilts help charities

  I WOULD like to thank all those people who supported our quilt exhibition at the end of September, helping us to raise £550. read more

• MP’s views tedious?

  JAMES Gray's callous manipulation of the press in publicly announcing his wife's cancer during the election campaign thereby arousing the electorate's sympathy whilst at the same time carrying on an adulterous affair was deceitful. read more

• Toilets too far apart

  WHAT is happening to all the toilets in Marlborough? I see the ones at the town hall are closed, which leaves the nearest ones in the George Lane car park and the ones at the lower end of the High Street. read more

• Where was I?

  I WAS stationed at Le Marchant Barracks, Devizes, from 1945-7. read more

• Tome just confuses

  I WAS dismayed to find that the useful, handy, short leaflets (usually just a single folded piece of cheap A4) on individual bus runs, which have been so helpful in the past, have been replaced by a hefty booklet of 66 (yes, 66) pages, (with an expensive, four-colour slick cover) showing every bus service in Eastern Wiltshire. read more

• Need police presence

  JOE Reddick's letter (Gazette, November 2) raises concerns which many Chippenham residents must feel. read more

• Real fear of violence

  I HAVE just read the letter Town full of violence' in this week's Gazette and sadly have to agree with Joe Reddick. read more

• Are pedestrians now second class citizens?

  WITH all the roadworks going on in the area no mention has been made of the current state of the pavements leading out of Devizes. read more

• Help safeguard canal

  READERS will have seen in last week's Gazette your article concerning the incompetence of DEFRA resulting in it threatening massively to cut funding to British Waterways and the Environment Agency's Inland Waterway network of canals and rivers. read more
