My beef with local MP

1:28pm Friday 10th May 2013

AS A former chairman of New Brewery Arts, I was rather hurt and concerned to see Mr Clifton-Brown's implication that "the New Brewery Arts" needs "beefing up" by the proposed cinema development.

Proud of long service

1:22pm Friday 10th May 2013

FIRST I must thank those who voted for me. It is disappointing that consistent service to the community seems to count for so little. My record includes being an officer of Malmesbury Civic Trust since 1997 taking particular interest in the River Walk & writing four local history books, having been a fund raiser of Carnival for many years and briefly serving on the committees of Friends of Athelstan Museum and Friends of Malmesbury Abbey.

Explanation appreciated

WHILST I appreciate what Wildmoor Properties have done for Cirencester, I think they should come clean and inform the town's residents why they cannot complete the refurbishment of the King's Head Hotel, but have enough financial capital to provide a new cinema etc.

Stand up for the NHS

THIS country had the best National Health Service in the world until the peers signed the death sentence.

Don't let it stay eyesore

PENALTY clauses can be used to insure against default or failure to meet the conditions of a contract so in the same vein would it not make sense for any urban development that can affect the ambience of the environment to be subject to a penalty, not only if a building is substandard, but also if nothing is done with some part of a declared development so as to make a negative impression on residents and visitors alike?

Floral display is just dandy

9:59am Thursday 2nd May 2013

HOW pleasant to see Cirencester District Council's national collection of dandelions on the approaches to the town, an annual display not to be missed by garden lovers and motorists.
