Your Say

On the Today programme (Radio 4) on Tuesday, December 3, Chris Grayling was talking about HS2.

We moved here a year ago and were struck by the wonderful community spirit and sense of heritage which Littlehampton has.

A couple of weeks ago, we heard the International Panel on Climate Change announce that we have only 12 years in which to drastically reduce our use of fossil fuels.

In his column last week, Sir Peter Bottomley says that he believes the site chosen for the National Holocaust Memorial and Learning centre is incorrect and the proposers are ‘stuck in a rut’ and should rethink and do better.

Every week in your correspondence pages we read of complaints about the council, police, the NHS, the lack of help for the homeless, teaching methods and the lack of help for the mentally ill.

It was very disappointing to hear of the plans by the privatised Post Office Ltd to close Worthing Crown Post Office and move the counter services to WHSmith, despite figures showing that through the hard work of Crown Post Office employees the National Crown Network is thriving and profitable.

As a local resident in Worthing, I’m very concerned about West Sussex County Council’s plan to cut all funding to help homeless people and those at risk of homelessness.

Your report on a teenage gang’s reign of terror in Goring made depressing reading the more so because of the feeble, negative response from the police.

I fully agree with Mrs Nightingale (letters, November 22) concerning the white poppy. When it was established by the Peace Pledge Union in 1932, the white poppy was not intended as a rival to its red equivalent but as a sign of the wearer’s commitment to peace.

Regarding the planned changes to bin collections – unbelievable!

I felt I had to write to you about the work that is going on in Rustington.

I have read that 22 cyclists have been killed by potholes.

How wonderful it was to see the thousands of people who gathered at the Worthing War Memorial, as well as the vast numbers who attended the national Remembrance Day commemoration.

May’s deal to leave the European Union (EU) sells our country short.

I disagree with what Nick Herbert said in his column about white poppies in the Herald of November 8.

Regarding the plan to move Worthing’s Post Office counter to WHSmith (Herald page 4 & online), I do not think this is a good idea at all.

I understand the need to change to fortnightly collections and if I lived in an area where bins were used properly I would have no problem with this.

I have just read my copy of Arun Times.

I am absolutely sick of finding the railway bridges between north and south Shoreham flooded to the degree that pedestrians are unable to pass. This includes the Southdown Road and West Street bridges.
