Dark side of the Lune
I WRITE regarding this so-called art project on Lune banks. Like the lady from Halton, I think this project is absolutely stupid and a terrible waste of money. What is wrong with our council that they can waste money on projects like this when so much

Walk on the wild side
I WRITE with reference to your front page article of 23 March about the cycle path. The whole project is in my view an eyesore and a complete waste of money. If the cycle path needed renovation this could have been due at far less expense. All the wild

Debate about Jesus is good

Plant live trees not dead ones
I THINK its absolutely dreadful that any money will be spent on planting dead trees upside down in the name of art when live trees could be planted. This is sheer stupidity. We are already destroying the earth in the name of commerce, surely we don't
