LETTERS – Two tier policing is really here

Richard Rush — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 12:59:51 +0000

So Police and Crime Commissioner Mark Jones believes that there is not any two tier policing – can I ask him what planet he’s living on because it sure ain’t Lincolnshire, England, Earth? We in Long Sutton and Sutton Bridge have always been part of Lincolnshire and South Holland; we pay our council tax but […]

LETTERS – Migration problem not complex

Richard Rush — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 12:58:15 +0000

Unfortunately, G Kent is wrong on many levels (June 18 edition, Letters.) The vast majority of people are not opposed to immigration per-se, what they are opposed to is mass uncontrolled immigration and the arrival of tens of thousands of illegal immigrants – the majority simply waved through and granted asylum despite no knowledge of […]

LETTERS – Town mess is such a disgrace

Richard Rush — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 12:54:15 +0000

I remember town years ago being much cleaner than it is today. If you were thinking of visiting, don’t bother, you will be very disappointed, litter is everywhere more so in some spots than others. Shop keepers don’t help with empty wooden pallets and plastic left outside their shop fronts. Westlode Street, in particular, is […]

LETTERS – Hats off to parade organiser

Richard Rush — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 12:52:30 +0000

I have attended a number of parades in Spalding in the past five years, but this one (Armed Forces Day) excelled, especially with the warm weather as everyone attending made sure it went off well and were saying we will give it our very best. A new innovation was the 20 Royal British Legion motorcyclists […]

LETTERS – Kids have no concern for safety

Richard Rush — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 07:32:36 +0000

On Monday, June 29, I called in at the Post Office in Winsover Road. On exiting I was confronted by 40 to 50 kids on bikes riding like mad along the pavement. I am disabled and nearly got knocked flying. It was like walking into a cycle race like the Tour de France but contested […]

LETTERS – No need for lower speed limit

Richard Rush — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 07:31:25 +0000

As a regular user of Cowbit Road in Spalding, I disagree with what has been said in relation to the speed limit being lowered. The 60mph zone has been in place for many years and people who live on that road would have know about this speed limit when they moved into their property. While […]

LETTERS – Thanks to lads for help

Richard Rush — Wed, 01 Jul 2026 13:06:02 +0000

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the lovely lads who came to my husband’s rescue on Sunday, June 14, near the car wash on Boston Road, Holbeach. Your attention to detail, especially your first aid and calling an ambulance so quickly, was brilliant. He is on the mend with two lovely black […]

LETTERS – Permission for other signs?

Richard Rush — Wed, 01 Jul 2026 13:04:33 +0000

I was interested to read that plans have been put forward for information boards concerning the stone sheep and cows situated adjacent to Spalding’s Sheep Market and alongside New Road. They are described as “small scale and not overly noticeable”. They are a lovely reminder of our town’s heritage and the signs will help many […]
