Your Letters
Letter - Time to sort out ABC
The announcement that the restoration of the Grade II-listed building, the Kirkgate Railway Station is to go ahead must be music to the ears of the people of Wakefield, especially the commuters who have to use the station, and also the people who live close by.
Letter -My gritting was good
Hats off to Wakefield Council! I was pleasantly surprised walking home from work through Ossett on Friday evening to find most of the side roads and pavements had been gritted in preparation for the weekend weather.
Letter - Appalled and in tears
I FELT compelled to write in response to last week’s article in which a couple walked free from court after stabbing their pet dog to death.
Letter - Look where you’re going
THANKS for printing my letter and while I know many people write in I was very interested but not surprised by Coun Box’s reply. One thing’s clear, it seems the England team need some spin so perhaps he should be drafted in the team!
1 commentLetter - Look where you’re going
IN a week that has seen the criminalisation of Christian actions I could not help but smile at the letter, Express February 10, ‘No-one stopped after I crashed.’
3 commentsLetter - But who’d take it on?
YOUR recent item (Tesco to Destroy Horbury?) suggesting that the Horbury community centre would become a Tesco Express and destroy the business life of the town is rather alarmist and based on a possibility rather than a fact.
Letter - Bar is a no-brainer
After reading in the Express about the Bar 42 being put on hold in Ossett I felt I needed to put pen to paper, although I barely know where to start.
1 commentLetter - Why is it Wakefield
ALEX Storey’s column (Express January 27) argued that Wakefield needs a directly elected Mayor, and that the present arrangements (where we all elect our local councillors and they then elect a ceremonial mayor and a council leader) are undemocratic.
1 commentLetter - In need of more info
I AM thankful to Alex Story for raising the issue of elected mayors and elected police commissioners in the Express.
Letter - No-one stopped after I crashed
ON Saturday morning two weeks ago, I was cycling through Stanley along Aberford Road towards the M62 roundabout.
19 commentsLetter - Council must stay strong against gypsy home plans
RE last week’s Wakefield Express report on the ‘Gypsy Camp’ at Boundary Lane, Warmfield.
Letter -Reasons to be cheerful
IN his letter last week Mr Milburn makes some interesting points.
2 commentsLetter - A credit to all involved
LAST Autumn I underwent heart surgery under the joint care of the cardiology Unit at Pinderfields and the cardiothoracic surgery Unit at Leeds General Infirmary.
Letter - Sex too good for youth
TO be blunt sex is too good for young people! But since this particular genie/djinn (a djinn is the opposite of a genie) is out of the bottle we have to do the best we can.
Letter - Picking up dangers
I REFER to the dangerous ‘picking up’ of customers at the rear of the Morrisons supermarket within the Ridings.
5 commentsLetter - Refreshed at lighting
How refreshing to read Ian Stevenson’s letter (January 6) ‘Leave the lights off’. At last some fresh thinking with some common sense and reason.
1 commentLetter - Marvellous shoppers
I just want to say thank you to everyone who helped me when I fell over in the Ridings.
Letter - Do we need new builds
I READ with great interest the letter from Peter Box (13/1/12). In it he defends his councils record on spending, regeneration and public consultation while pushing some blame towards the Tory goverment. At a time of cuts and hardship lets look at some spending.
9 commentsLetter - Wakefield can prosper
I am delighted at the news of shopping success for the city, as half a million shoppers visited Trinity Walk. This big boost for the city is good news, and has been needed for a while as these times of high unemployment are difficult.
5 commentsLetter - It’s all just acceptable
IT’S like writing to The Times reporting a glimpse of the first swallow, because I have just seen the first person coming to our street to price work for the new development.
Letter - Abortion still a taboo topic
MUCH has been said about Prime Minister Cameron’s speech on “Christian values”.
