Letter of the week - Witch hunt is not the answer

Kadian Harding, who died following a bicycle accident on the A4

4:00pm Thursday 16th May 2013

I thought I would drop you a quick line after reading the tragic story of Kadian Harding.

Mayoralty is devalued

4:00pm Thursday 16th May 2013

As the longest-serving councillor on Devizes Town Council I was stunned to find out that our deputy mayor and mayor elect Coun Jim Gudgeon has resigned.

Well done to operator

4:00pm Thursday 16th May 2013

How quick we are to spread news of bureaucracy failings, blaming Governments of whichever persuasion for a cold authoritative attitude without concern for the individual.

It’s good to share

4:00pm Thursday 16th May 2013

We are writing to thank everyone who helped with our Chippenham Food Bank shop ‘n’ share at Morrison’s Supermarket on Friday, April 26.

Estate is set to grow

4:00pm Thursday 16th May 2013

I refer to the article in the Gazette & Herald on May 9 on page 5 on the Crown Estate plan for Laywood.

Thanks for support

I would like to thank everyone at Kingsdown Crematorium in Swindon who looked after the funeral arrangements for my brother Edwin, known as Eddie Lee, who passed away at Great Western Hospital at the age of 78.

Actions were devious

4:00pm Thursday 16th May 2013

The devious actions of the Conservative-led Wiltshire Council in withholding the news that 320 staff are being made redundant until after our local elections makes a mockery of their claim to open government.

We needed Thatcher

4:00pm Thursday 16th May 2013

What a bitter and twisted view of Margaret Thatcher Ed Deedigan has (Gazette, May 9). It’s easy to look back and criticise and also fail to mention what was so wrong with society back then.

Roads still dreadful

4:00pm Thursday 16th May 2013

Eighteen months ago I complained on your letters page that the roads in and around Marlborough were a disgrace, and suggested that the authorities should employ contractors capable of doing a proper job. Mr Dick Tonge (on behalf of Wiltshire Council) responded in a manner indicating that the quality of roads and contractors was no business of mine.

Safe places are key

Tim Mason, Matthew Armstrong, Diane Jenkins, Teresa Conbroy, Sue Jeffreys and Brian Deeley launch the Safe Places scheme in March

4:00pm Thursday 16th May 2013

On behalf of the Devizes Safe Places steering group, I would like to say a huge thank you to the shops, businesses and organisations of Devizes as well as to The Gazette & Herald for supporting such a worthwhile initiative as Safe Places.
