Proud to serve

2:14pm Friday 9th May 2008

Sir, - As one of the so called "rats fighting in a sack" (D&S web comment May 2) from someone called Alan who lacks the courage and moral fibre to sign his full name, I find it very sad that he has to descend to gutter level comments like this to make a point.

Relevant speed

2:14pm Friday 9th May 2008

Sir, - In your issue of April 18 your reporter Dani Webb reported on the 19 per cent fall in road casualties achieved by Stockton Borough Council over the last year.

Hitting the low paid

Failing in the US

2:13pm Friday 9th May 2008

Sir, - The big five banks are in difficulties because they have tried to make money in the USA. The Government keeps saying there has been nothing like this for 60 years. It goes on to say no one is to blame because no one could see it coming.

Market plans

Sir, - I refer to your story regarding the consultant's report on how the Richmond markets could be improved in the face of national market declines (D&S, May 2).

Poor comparison

2:10pm Friday 9th May 2008

Sir, - I read it's a much deserved well done to Ingleby Barwick Town Council, Stockton Borough Council and Ingleby ward councillors, who working together have sourced a financial package of over £400,000 for the creation of "Romano Park". An opportunity to give the people there something of real permanent benefit.

Protect special site

2:09pm Friday 9th May 2008

Sir, - At Castle Hills in Northallerton, a green field site with a hilltop scheduled ancient monument, the developer Taylor Wimpey has applied for outline planning permission to build houses right up to the hilltop fort position.
