LETTERS – Could not be more wrong

Richard Rush — Wed, 24 Jun 2026 11:50:36 +0000

G Kent could not be more wrong about the vast number of illegal immigrants invading our shores. The very make up of these contingents makes my point. Virtually all are fit young men of military age. If they were genuine asylum seekers, they would be bringing their wives, children and families with them to avoid […]

LETTERS – Thanks for prompt repair

Recently I contacted Nick Worth, leader of South Holland District Council, in regards to a wooden bench located on Boston Road North, Holbeach. The wooden bench had fallen into a state of disrepair and needed some love and attention. Coun Worth kindly visited and examined the bench and instigated repairs to be carried out. The […]

LETTER: Calling for solar farm review

We are calling for a national review of how large-scale solar farms are approved, as many new schemes are being designed to export electricity rather than meet UK demand.The Government’s recent commitment to becoming a net exporter of green energy raises fundamental questions about whether solar farms built primarily for export should continue to be […]

Regarding the response of members of South Holland District Council to the suggestion that accommodation in the area be purposed for the housing of asylum seekers (Voice, May 28, p3).I utterly condemn the immoral rejection of this proposal by particular council members.On September 13, 2025, I was in London, part of a small counterdemonstration to […]

Yes! Nice warm weather, let’s relax in the garden at the weekend.No chance! Blaring music and karaoke you could only call noise over several weekends.No choice but to retreat indoors and try to shut the noise out.Close windows and doors and swelter while trying to hear the TV at three times normal volume – horrendous!I […]

LETTERS – Panellists were aggressive

Richard Rush — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 11:59:13 +0000

In response to Mike Chapman’s letter in last week’s Voice: I have been to several Any Questions broadcasts over the years and have never been asked to declare my political persuasion. Whose views represent the town? Is it the ones who react to every initiative by saying ‘waste of money’ and the like (and who […]

Richard Rush — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 11:58:23 +0000

I just wonder whether any of your readers have experienced the difficulties in parking at the Johnson Hospital when attending appointments? I had occasion to visit the hospital for an appointment at 11am on Tuesday, June 2 and allowing plenty of time to drive there considering the torrential rain and the many road closures on […]

LETTERS – Cedar House must continue

Richard Rush — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 10:24:36 +0000

There are some places that quietly hold a community together – rarely visited by those fortunate enough not to need their services, yet completely indispensable to the lives of those that do. Cedar House, in Spalding, is one such place. So, it is a profound mistake to close the respite centre which provides care for […]
