no images were found Wet and chilly weather failed to put a dampener on the annual Springfields Festival and Tulipmania weekend. Despite needing coats and umbrellas, the 3,000 visitors made the most of the entertainment on offer. David Norton, chief executive of Springfields Horticultural Society, said: “The highlight of the weekend was the spectacular display of tulips in the garden, ...

It is to Mr Hunt’s credit that he is reading candidates’ leaflets in order to decide who is worthy of his vote, however, he has misunderstood what group means. It would be unrealistic to expect all 37 councillors to attend meetings or sit on committees without engaging in discussions and exchanging different views on complex issues. The difference between a ...

As someone who feels strongly about reducing immigration and rolling back the powers grabbed by the EU over the years, I was naturally leaning towards UKIP at this election. However the choice by UKIP locally to select David Parsons, the former leader of Leicestershire County Council, who had to quit over an expenses scandal which led to an 18-month police ...

Please allow me to respond to the letter from Andrew Hunt (April 30) as it alludes to me. Prior to 1991, those of us who were Independent councillors did not belong to a group. However, since 1991, it has become essential so that those elected get a say in which committees they would like to serve on. The Local Government ...

I’m disappointed to read in The Voice (April 30) I was accused of providing false information about the funding of the Pinchbeck Chimes. This is entirely untrue; the last issue of the Pinchbeck Chimes for the financial year 2014-2015 clearly states “the printing of this magazine has been funded from the designated budgets of the district councillors”. This clearly means ...

As someone who is involved in both prosecuting and defending cases I would hope to be well placed to give a balanced view upon the Criminal Courts Charge which has been brought in somewhat hastily with little notice. It remains to be seen whether this will have unforeseen consequences. I would think that most people would agree to at least ...

I was very disappointed by the answer given by David Parsons, the UKIP candidate from Leicester, to what has been reported as the “elephant in the room” question at the General Election hustings. Of grave concern is Mr Parsons’ claim to have been exonerated, when the report into his financial dealings concluded no such thing! The report from the Standards ...

I would like to extend huge congratulations to Pinchbeck United Sunday team, who made history on April 26 by becoming the first Spalding Sunday League side to win the County Sunday Cup. An emphatic win (5-0) against Thurlby – well done! Sally Slade Pinchbeck

Regarding the letter from Margaret Wilson – “He knows nothing of local issues” (April 23). Firstly the local Labour Party are a small campaign group, unlike some, we all have day jobs, and quite rightly have been helping out in key Labour areas such as Peterborough and Lincoln in return for some support within our South Holland and The Deepings ...

Just over a year ago Alice Prior was undergoing intensive tests having been diagnosed with a brain tumour – now the 20-year-old plans to throw herself out of a plane! On April 9 last year, Alice was sitting on the floor at home in Spalding wrapping up her mum’s birthday presents when she collapsed. She couldn’t get up and called ...

A Surfleet woman will dare to have no hair in a bid to give something back to the charities that have changed her life. Vicky Smith (28) has pledged to shave her head once she reaches a sponsorship total of £300. She said: “I have decided to give something back to organisations that have changed my life for the better. ...

I am pleased that something amuses Mr Cronin, although I did not find his unhelpful attitude at the steering group which looked at the possibilities of building a community centre for Wygate at all funny. On the question of delay perhaps he should consider “motes and beams”. As to his central question “Why are the residents being restricted to a ...

I was very interested to receive an election leaflet from an Independent candidate for the upcoming elections, which states in the leaflet an independent means exactly that, I have no party leader or a group to dictate what I can say or who I can support. I feel this is very misleading statement as on the back of the same ...

Well done to Winston Brown on the manner in which he chaired the hustings at the South Holland Centre last evening. Pity he was unaware of, or chose to ignore, the childish note-passing that was going on to his right for most of the evening, instigated by John Hayes. Not the behaviour one would expect from a Member of Parliament ...

The candidate for Pinchbeck and Surfleet who wrote in The Voice (April 23) has yet again given false information. Firstly, his allegation that we have funded the magazine via our budgets. Wrong! The printing costs of parish magazine Pinchbeck Chimes are not funded by our ward budgets. There were ten issues of The Chimes during the financial year 2014-15; during ...
