Letters

• Help meant so much

  I should like to express my heartfelt thanks to all the many friends who supported me throughout my husband John's illness, and subsequent death on January 12. read more

• End of High Street

  I wonder what is being achieved by your publishing the variety of letters and opinions you have received on the rumour that Tesco is coming to Marlborough. read more

• Proud of tree work

  I am writing in response to A E Johnson, (letters, February 1). Since 1991 my company has had the pleasure of maintaining many beautiful trees in the Marlborough and Devizes areas. read more

• Only name to go

  Wigglybus passengers and drivers were very confused by your headline "Wigglybus is facing the axe" (Gazette, February 1). The services are not facing the axe, but the name is. read more

• Damage to economy

  I am seriously concerned to learn that Wiltshire County Council wishes to abolish Kennet and impose a unitary local authority. read more

• Parish council should feel ashamed

  Yet another planning application has been put in to build a housing estate at Manor Farmyard in Urchfont. Urchfont Parish Council has decided it is a good idea to support this application. read more

• Disgusted by views

  I was disgusted to read J Merrett's comments regarding the closure of Devizes Hospital (letters, February 1). It will be a great loss to small towns to lose their hospitals. read more

  Kennet District Council has now distributed wheelie bins and black boxes for us to recycle our rubbish. After they have been emptied, they are relatively light and easily blown around. read more

  Is it any wonder that Ian Thompson (letters, February 1) had to wait for 20 minutes to get traffic information from police HQ if the system is clogged up with calls like his? read more

• Church still open

  I am writing to thank the firemen from Devizes Fire Station during the recent windy Thursday. The damage to the front window at St Andrew's Church was very sudden and extremely difficult for the firemen. They were just brilliant. read more

• High price for a loo

  "I DON'T believe it," as Victor would say. Over half a million pounds to build a toilet in Devizes and that's excluding the price of the land. read more

• Unceasing efforts

  I would like to thank all the members of DASH2 for their unceasing efforts to save Devizes Hospital. read more

• Sell-off is indefinsible

  THE Pathways for Change promises disappeared in the proposals approved by the Wiltshire PCT on January 30. Where were the bright shiny New Generation Hospitals that were dangled in front of us? read more

• Closure will be a loss

  As a frequent visitor to the delightful county of Wiltshire, I was astonished to read that the tourist information centre in Avebury was scheduled for closure. read more
