I had a fantastic day last Sunday in Spalding town centre when I was present at the St George’s Day Parade, attended by over 300 members of the South Holland Scouts and Guides. The parade assembled in Hall Place and was led by the Marching Ambassadors, who put on an excellent show, through the Market Place and on to St ...

Holbeach Flower Festival takes place at All Saints’ Church from today (Thursday) until Monday and visitors will be able to see a very special model of the church. A 2ft long wooden model was made to scale by former church warden David Duncan and verger Clare Stupples has spent the past year building it up with 5p coins to represent ...

I read with interest the front page of the Daily Mirror (April 20) about registering to vote. Last year I used the Government website to apply to be registered to vote. I also filled in a nomination form to stand in the election for a parish councillor for the Hurn ward of Holbeach. In 2005 I stood as an Independent ...

We have been out in Spalding this week and last and it is clear from our conversations with people that the quality of life crisis is biting hard for many. This is coupled with concerns about public services coming under pressure from an increasing local population and the ongoing government cuts reducing services and affecting council spending and priorities. At ...

How predictable that your letters page (April 23) was bombarded with letters from candidates and councillors all spouting the usual: how much they have done and will do in future. Their “pledges” and “100 per cent guarantees” always results in my yelling blah, blah, blah. David Cameron’s pledges all failed to materialise, so I wrote and asked him why. The ...

Has Roger Gambba-Jones reconsidered his anti-UKIP rant? (Spalding Guardian April 9). Defections from the Independent group to form a coalition with the minority Conservative group shifted the balance of power? The excellent refuse service we receive is wholly due to the hard work and diligence of the labour force involved. Our district council makes huge savings by not supplying and ...

Now on the sharp end of a near nine-month community campaign in Spalding St John’s, I have already begun the look back on the many things I will miss deeply after May 7, the district elections. It hit me when I returned to a care home and was greeted like an old friend, by a resident and “true blue” Conservative. ...

In response to the letter about the community survey currently underway in Wygate Park, Spalding. Clearly, the writer has allowed emotion to cloud his judgement and failed to read the covering flyer and the survey itself. Both refer to a facility not a building, although that is indeed one option. The documents were drafted and approved by Community Lincs and ...

There will be something for everyone at Spalding’s popular TulipMania event this weekend. The Springfields Festival and TulipMania will include the usual spectacular spring flower displays in Springfields Gardens, with an extra 10,000 tulips planted this year in celebration of South Holland’s bulb growing heritage. On Saturday the Tulipmania procession starts in the festival arena at 2.30pm. Free face painting ...

I notice that you are publishing several letters saying what a good chap John Hayes is. Well I would like to join in by singing the praises of my local councillor Angela Newton. Coun Newton is always doing things for people in the ward. She delivers regular newsletters, she takes up all issues that are referred to her and nothing ...

Not many of us have ever had a bat zip over our head, seen the ghostly figure of a barn owl quartering the fields or appreciated the variety of moths that take to the air after dark. The wildlife that comes out after the sun goes down is often overlooked because we are not naturally equipped to explore this environment. ...
