Need for circular bus service

Dear Sir,

Further to the new ‘trial’ proposal for the new bus service, it seems that the government has a view that the south district does not exist and that people don’t need a bus service any further than Trafalgar Cemetery! Read more

Rubbish approach to beaches

Dear Sir,

I thought you might like to highlight this problem with the beach approach.

It has been like this for over a year and visitors must think they are visiting the beach at Beirut....

Disability Society comments on Accessible Pool

Dear Sir,

The Disability Society noted with interest the comment by the Chief Minister in his press conference of 29th July regarding the accessible pool.

When will the hospital be back to normal?

That he would be called the following week for a new appointment, we are still waiting, it might not be important to them but it is to us. Read more
