Birkenhead Letters

Government is contradicting itself

I AGREE with reader P. Bowden ('A point for us all to smoke on', Mailbox, February 22), Britain has gone mad.  more...

Dog muck is forcing me to move home

I LIVE on the promenade between The Mariners and Vale Park, Egremont. If this dog fouling persists, I feel I will be forced to move home.  more...

Total disregard for public health . . .

I SYMPATHISE with your correspondent (''Dog fouling law has no teeth, says angry mum', Globe, February 1) with regard to the state of Wallasey and New Brighton pavements and the total lack of disregard for public health.  more...

WE are a country surrounded by sea and with one of the wettest climates on earth. Yet a few months of drought and we are literally up the creek without a paddle.  more...

'Shrine' plea

ONE can understand the sentiments which prompt people to leave floral tributes at the site of fatal accidents, but could not those concerned go back and remove the plastic and wire etc which is left behind when the flowers have rotted away?  more...

Reunion call

WE are organising a 30th Anniversary Reunion for all those who left Our Lady of Pity RC School, Greasby, in the Summer of 1976.  more...

Different planet

YET again I notice the 'PC Brigade' has been at it and now has dropped the 'St' from St Valentine's Day.  more...
