LETTERS – Can’t get in touch with council

Richard Rush — Wed, 12 Aug 2026 15:18:18 +0000

Please would someone enlighten me as to how you can contact Long Sutton Parish Council? I emailed them – no one bothered to reply. I rang them – no answer. I visited the local office in Long Sutton when it is supposed to be open, guess what? No one there! Sue MasonLong Sutton

LETTERS – Who allowed roadworks?

Richard Rush — Wed, 12 Aug 2026 15:17:28 +0000

It seems Spalding was a lottery winner when it came to who could have the most road closures at any one time! It is beyond ridiculous that we have to be subjected to so many road closures all at the same time. Clearly no one in the council has the brain power to realise this. […]

In Sainsbury’s car park on Saturday, July 18, I left my car tailgate open. Thank you to the kind gentleman who sat for 45 minutes watching it was safe. How kind, big thank you. C BirdWeston Hills

LETTERS – Bins and park not our responsibility

Richard Rush — Wed, 05 Aug 2026 11:04:02 +0000

I read in The Voice on July 23 re: Anfield Road dog bins and play area not being maintained. South Holland District Council stated that it is either the parish council or the developer’s responsibility, SHDC said that is was nothing to do with them. It is nothing to do with the parish council. SHDC […]

LETTERS – Special reason to remember

Richard Rush — Wed, 05 Aug 2026 11:01:56 +0000

Fleet Hargate resident Roy Glencross has personal reasons for special remembrance of the events of August 1942. His father was a survivor of the Malta Convoy, code-named Pedestal. The people of the Mediterranean island were starving due to intense Nazi bombardment and deprivation of vital supplies. Situated in a strategic position between Africa and Italy, […]

LETTERS – Very hungry caterpillars!

Richard Rush — Wed, 29 Jul 2026 15:22:23 +0000

A reader has sent in the above photo of a hedge in Holbeach which appears to be falling victim to a caterpillar feast. The box tree variety eats the hedge of its namesake and are yellowish green with thick black and white stripes and a black head. The small ermine moth target mixed or deciduous […]

LETTERS – Grateful for hotel good news

Richard Rush — Wed, 29 Jul 2026 15:20:49 +0000

I am finding it quite hard to find words to express well enough my delight at the wonderful news that Sir Joan Hayes, our MP, has heard from the Home Office that the former Bridge Hotel, at Sutton Bridge, is NOT to be used as an asylum hostel. Immense gratitude is due to the unanimous […]

LETTERS – How far were the letters sent?

Richard Rush — Wed, 29 Jul 2026 15:19:53 +0000

After the council passed the plan for the AI coffee shop in Kings Road (see page 11) I would like to know how far were consultation letters sent out – just the catchment area it would appear. Would they have been only to residents within 50 feet of the project? If so those on the […]

LETTERS – Parade rules are by the book

Richard Rush — Wed, 29 Jul 2026 15:19:15 +0000

I am concerned by an article in the local press in which a councillor in charge of his party is unable to discern the difference between a ‘very personal vendetta’ and trying to get an answer to a question. As I see it, councillors are elected to represent their constituency and to raise matters brought […]

LETTERS – Someone check the deeds

Richard Rush — Wed, 29 Jul 2026 15:18:18 +0000

At the Spalding Town Forum I pointed out that the council had taken so much trouble over the plans for their proposed cemetery extension that it seemed clear to me that the decision had already been taken and objections were going to be ignored. I would like someone with legal knowledge to examine the deeds […]
