• Grateful for the help

  My wife and I are aged 87 and 86 and both disabled. On New Year's Eve my wife fell, in her bedroom, at around 2am, and shouted for help. I was unable to assist and dialled 999. Less than half an hour later a very young paramedic arrived from Chippenham and lifted her, carefully checking every movement and response, and got her safely back into bed. read more

• Great service 24/7

• Did not speak to MP

  It is a shame that MP James Gray did not read my letter to you (December 27) with a little more care. If he had done so he would have ascertained that I did not in fact speak to him at all during the unpleasant journey that we shared from Paddington to Chippenham on December 15. In fact my letter merely described the exchanges that I saw take place in the first class carriage between him and other passengers. read more

• No low morale here

  When we moved to Marlborough we had three Post Offices in town to use. The population has doubled in the 41 years we have lived here, but next year we will enjoy the services of just one office. read more

• Magnificent dinner

  On behalf of the 52 elderly guests entertained to a magnificent dinner party at the Marlborough Christmas Day lunch, I would like to thank all the generous benefactors who provided the wherewithal to stage this wonderful event.
