Runcorn people are forced to go to dearer shops

Wed, 30 Nov 2011 16:27:10 +0000

When will the councillors who have the authority as to where and what is being built realise that once again they have ignored the voices of the Runcorn people by building a Tesco’s at Widnes?

Young dogs attacked

A couple of friends have had their dogs attacked whilst out walking in Beechwood recently. One incident happened on the field at the back of St Marks church and Hillview school and the other near the Beechwood pond. Both young dogs were attacked by a German Shepherd dog which was off lead and aggressive. Both dogs also required treatment by a vet.

I would just like to say, Well done to Halton Council for providing ' Widnes at Sea' recently.

Keep our green and pleasant land

IF, like me, you love the sight of our beautiful local countryside, you may be shocked to learn that the Government has published a new set of planning rules which could give an automatic green light to any new development in the countryside outside the most protected sites such as National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Giant problem

THE giant weeds described by cyclist Beryl McWhan in the World, August 3, are familiarly known as giant hogweed – introduced into Britain from the Caucuses in the early 19th century as waterside ornamentals.

Centre could be solution

WITH regards to the article in the World, August 20, ‘Concern over loss of vital hospital unit’, I would like to suggest a solution to this problem.

What goes around...

Thu, 18 Aug 2011 10:28:46 +0100

THE loss of the vascular department at Warrington Hospital is a blow to all. But some of us can remember it was Warrington that turned Halton Hospital practically into a cottage hospital by taking almost everything, from bed linen, beds to ward/theatre staff, plunging Halton – I was informed at the time – into the red and putting themselves into the black. So what goes around comes around and let’s hope they don’t lose any more departments. As my wife is still waiting for x-ray results (it has been three weeks) from Halton, maybe Warrington should start giving stuff back – we need it. Runcorn resident
