Are there not enough trip hazards on the streets of Grantham?

Volunteers have clearly put an enormous amount of work into the current Dambuster exhibition at Grantham Museum, as well as helping to save the establishment from closure.

I wish Coun Richard Davies well in his quest to actually make the Lincolnshire Highways Authority do something about Gorse Lane lake and the pothole problems which have existed for over 11 years.

The disgracefully low turnout for the local elections is deplorable, but I do think that lack of publicity made its contribution.

Several of our elected councillors attribute the dismal turnout of 25 per cent at our recent county council elections to people being totally disillusioned with politics and politicians.

I think it’s great that the council want to rebuild the paddling pool in Wyndham Park (Journal, May 3), but let’s get our priorities right.

There is a touching meaning behind this photo, sent in this week by Heather Herbert.

An impromptu survey this week confirmed what I would never have believed before the late Margaret Thatcher came to power.

Po Sing has learned the hard way about food hygiene, but the kitchen is now cleaner than the rest of the take aways in town.

A big thank you to all those who donated to the annual house-to-house appeal for ADRA-UK (Adventist Development and Relief Agency).

It gives me great pleasure to thank neighbours and friends of Elaine Sandy (nee Ivermee), who contributed to a collection I held in her memory in aid of the PDSA, as she was so fond of animals.

In response to Roy Coldham’s letter (Journal, May 3), the Bishop of Grantham has every right to comment on Thatcher and the chasm in society that she created.

I wondered if I may be able to share a most humbling experience with you and your readers.

He might be a peculiar pet but this super snail pastered a smile on the face of a young lad who found it in his shed.

I’m very angry with people who park their cars and vans on the grass verge outside the Co-op on Princess Drive.

The Labour Group leader, Charmaine Morgan, wrote about the ‘bedroom tax’ (Journal, April 26), but I’m struggling to understand the meaning of the paragraph saying: “where a room is too small to sleep another person, residents would be expected to sleep in the living room.”

Too often these days we hear negative comments regarding the care provided to the elderly, both privately and by the NHS. I can only tell you that our family’s experience in losing mother to cancer recently, was totally the opposite.

The debate over comments relating to the late Margaret Thatcher by Dr Tim Ellis, Bishop of Grantham, is highly interesting.

Before Conservative county councillor Richard Davies blindly toes the party line with anti-welfare state sabre rattling, he should consider the facts about Grantham’s employment (or unemployment) problems first.

In reply to David Close’s letter in last week’s Journal, “Offended by his words”, this is still a free country, and we still have freedom of speech - to a certain extent.
