LETTERS – Resign and find people to do better

Whatever is the matter with South Holland District Council?

They want to attract people to Spalding, yet they leave the town looking like a pig sty and horror upon horror they want to turn an empty shop into a 24-hour gaming casino which will cause trouble in the town and a turn-off for visitors.

May I suggest that if they can’t do any better they all resign and find people who can.

Mr J E Burman
Spalding

Editor’s note – The 24-hour gaming centre is a planning application by Merkur Slots to be decided by South Holland District Council, not an application by the council itself.
