Letters

• Carnival pat on back

  I must thank Malmesbury Carnival Committee for a wonderful carnival this year. The work that has gone into the last three weeks must have been mammoth. I went to at least six events, they were all excellent and well organised; they all deserve a pat on the back. read more

• Memories evoked

  The picture in the Gazette and Herald on August 30 showing Marders Rendezvous Restaurant brought back memories. read more

• Heartfelt thanks

  I would like to say a huge thank you to the people who helped me at Lacock boot sale on Sunday morning, after I was knocked over by a man on a quad bike. The two women and a man were very kind and reassuring whilst we waited for the ambulance to arrive.

• Horrified at traffic

  I plead with the authorities to think again about the alterations proposed in Kingsbury Street and Silverless Street, Marlborough, because it is evident that little notice has been taken of the comfort or wishes of the residents of this area or the Green. read more

• Council is preparing for difficult times

  It is common knowledge that Kennet District Council is to be absorbed into Wiltshire County Council within the next 18 months, unless the Judicial Review upsets the applecart. read more
