Your Say

The rector of St Wulfram’s Church says that last year’s beer festival was a huge success.

At times unsettling, but always spellbinding, the Chantry Dance Company takes us on a spectacular journey into the world of dreams with their new piece, The Sandman.

Last week the Journal informed us that ‘Cadets call for community projects’.

September 6, 1997 was a day that the nation will never forget; 20 years ago, Princess Diana’s funeral was watched by millions of people at home and abroad.

I was enjoying breakfast in the Tollemache Inn, Grantham, on Saturday, August 19 at around noon, when the so called ‘Anti-fascists’ arrived outside the window, where I was sitting.

On two separate occasions, both my son and daughter (who have 10 years’ driving experience) have had accidents when exiting McDonald’s.

Last weekend, Grantham, our largest town, was in the news twice…and for all the wrong reasons.

I regularly use the buses in town, especially the no. 1 to Earlesfield. A lot of the time, when one does not turn up, you go ask the manager/supervisor why it’s late and all they say it’s the traffic.

Your correspondent ‘Growing town has little to offer’ (Journal, July 7) presents the most negative and in my view wrongheaded description of our town.

I’ve written about the ‘mythical’ southern relief road (SRR) and the Southern Quadrant several times and so far, sadly, everything that I’ve predicted (despite assurances to the contrary, from various council members), has been correct.

Last week, the Journal reported that Lincolnshire County Council leader Martin Hill said that council services are “at breaking point”. Has Mr Hill only just noticed that?

Further to my mail last week, now we have some of the details for the reason for the delayed phase two bypass build, I would only comment and look for further answers from Mr Davies and Mr Boles to the following.

I visited Grantham on a short tour of the East Midlands in late June this year and was pleased to see such a bustling little town.

Our much heraldedby-pass has been delayed again, and phase two may now have to start after Christmas.

I should have known better.

I have never written a letter to the Grantham Journal before, however I feel the time is right.

The ‘trying to sound like, look a bit like a high powered super car’ brigade of car drivers have a few things not going for them.

I refer to your photograph of Princess Diana in your ‘Memory Lane’ section last week, and the reported interest of Charles and Diana in buying Belton House.

Travelling into Grantham, there were signs saying there would be travel delays due to a carnival on June 17.

All around Grantham, people are being kept awake night after night by what used to be called ‘boy racers’.
