As the Government continue to go forward with the development of “fracking” using low cost tax incentives, concerns are growing over the potential damage it could cause on a national basis. Government spokesmen highlight the numerous advantages fracking is supposed to bring, but little is said about the most important factor, shale gas is a fossel fuel which, when burned, ...

I write regarding “Elderly risking life and limb on overcrowded bus”. I’m sorry to say it’s getting worse. We boarded the 9am bus from town which picked us all up at the Wygate Park area.

In the ...
