Your Say

Your newspaper is right to highlight the downgrading of facilities at Louth County Hospital.

The Road Works on the A158, at the junction of West Street and Langton Hill have received very poor press.

Through the letters page of your newspaper I would like to express my thanks publicly to the anonymous resident of Jobson Close in Horncastle who found and returned my mobile telephone to me on Sunday 7th October.

Editor’s note: Below is the full statement from Horncastle Town Council regarding the footpath at the rear of Thomas Gibson Way. Last week’s Horncastle News included an article about how residents of nearby Jessop Close have fought a decade-long battle to get someone to take responsibility for the middle section of the path. They claim the path is impassable because of brambles and weeds.

So, now we know.

I have great sympathy with the gentleman who was the victim of a hit-and-run in the Tesco Car Park.

Welcome ‘Almost Councillor’ Hinkins to local politics, I hope your adoption has given you the momentum to serve your community well.

Your regular articles on the bypass issue make interesting reading.

I disagree with the county councillor who says a roundabout would not work at the bottom of the Bull Ring.

Horncastle Town Council has approved an LCC proposal to extend the 40 mph speed restriction further out from the town centre on the Louth and Langton Hill Roads, (recommended because of the development work in progress providing new housing).

This is the letter I have sent to the town clerk.

Is anyone surprised by the news that even Tory council leader Martin Hill thinks local services are at risk of collapse under his administration? Lincolnshire has voted overwhelmingly for cuts and austerity three times since 2010; our own MP Victoria Atkins voted three times to support a 70% reduction in local government funding, between 2016 and 2018, and will vote for deeper cuts next year.

The person who made the decision to site temporary bus stops in Jubilee Way should be brought to account.
