As readers will know, I have been honoured to help my constituent, Annette Bramley, in her campaign to create a register of those found guilty of animal cruelty to help prevent domestic violence, following the awful murder of her daughter, Holly, in 2023.

LETTERS – Pink hawthorn is a lovely gift

Richard Rush — Wed, 20 May 2026 10:42:47 +0000

On the road from Surfleet to Gosberton there’s a row of pink-flowering hawthorn trees. Now, it is possible to make a row of hawthorn using pieces of self-sown plants but I would expect them to be white-flowering. I think a person would have to make a deliberate decision to buy and plant a row of […]

LETTERS – Holiday bin collection confusion?

Richard Rush — Wed, 13 May 2026 10:17:06 +0000

I am writing to The Voice today to request answers to my dilemma. Normally, as in previous years, when our rubbish collections fall on a Bank Holiday, they are collected the day AFTER the bank holiday. For an unknown reason to me, on the May Day Bank Holiday the rubbish in black bags were collected […]
