St Helens Letters

You park in disabled slots but would you like to trade places?

I AM writing with reference to the letter 'Watch this space' (Dear Star April 13) regarding disabled people using the parent/child car park spaces and how absolutely annoying this really is. There's plenty of disabled spaces in the car parks so why don't they stick to their own bays?  more...

Can they afford to turn away trade?

Couple of points. First the council workers who found my son's mobile on Chain Lane and returned it to me personally safe and sound. Thank you for your honesty and going out of your way.  more...

Charity begins at home...

I HAVE just seen on the TV that Gordon Brown has promised £8.5billion to Africa to educate children over the next 10 years.  more...

Blackbrook puzzler

IN the St Helens First magazine I was reading about the new bypass with the photo of Mr David Watts.  more...

You made my mind up for me

WELL thank you Dave Watts, as you have just decided for me, whom I shall be putting my mark next to in the local elections, and it isn't Labour!  more...
