In response to The Voice article March 17, the options to “get Spalding moving”. Is this the same computerised system they used at Pinchbeck Road/Woolram Wygate junction to make so called improvements to the flow of traffic? If so, I would highly recommend they don’t bother, as it will surely make the situation worse as it has at Pinchbeck Road. ...

I have recently moved to rural Spalding, I notice there is so much litter, an old mattress and car parts float in our dyke at Whaplode St Catherine. If anyone would like to organise a litter pick I would definitely volunteer and leave the water and banks a safe haven for the wildlife. Donna Manser Whaplode St Catherine

Myths and misinformation abound in this debate on EU membership. The Labour party claims worker’s rights are enhanced, but thanks to a mass influx of East Europeans, wages have stagnated and job insecurity increased. The 3-4 million British jobs that are claimed to depend on EU membership are matched (using the same criteria, and allowing for the £60b annual deficit) ...

Craig Jackson ought to be able to present a cogent case on the merits of leaving the EU rather than resorting to using the Joseph Goebbel’s manual for manipulating public option. If politicians need to mislead the public make sure the deceit is a big one with just a hint of plausibility and credibility; repeat it loudly and often in ...

Six fire crews were called to a massive blaze that broke out in a disused social club in Spalding last night. Five engines from Spalding, Donington, Holbeach and Bourne were called to the fire on West Marsh Road, along with an aerial platform ladder from Boston. The fire, which affected the ground and first floors of the building, started at ...

John Hayes asks readers to vote for Britain to leave the EU. In his letter (March 17), he praises the Prime Minister twice but spurns his cogent case for the UK to remain within the EU in favour of the blandishments of Boris Johnson, whose over-inflated ego and all-consuming ambition for “the top job” is rivalled only by Donald Trump. ...

What’s taking so long? I have suggested this in previous letters about replacing traffic lights with mini roundabouts months ago. As traffic lights are a direct order to stop or go and the timing of them is also not suitable, roundabouts let the driver choose and they tend to be way more courteous, even when traffic is heavy. I would ...

I believe that the traffic lights situated where Winsover Road meets Station Street could be disposed of and replaced with a painted roundabout. This could possibly work in conjunction with Swan Street being closed and eliminate congestion that at times can cause queues back as far as Hannam Boulevard on a busy day. Most traffic turns left toward Sainsbury’s, allowing ...

What are South Holland District Council up to with their latest notification that refuse collections are to commence at 6am, yes 6am. Given South Holland is hardly a metropolitan area is it really necessary for such an early start in what will be mostly residential roads? These large road vehicles and the associated collections are hardly quiet affairs so why ...

I am delighted to see in your paper that local MP John Hayes will be voting to leave the European Union. He has kept the promise he made to his constituents at the General Election that he would do so. It would have been easy for John to toe the party line and back David Cameron, particularly as he is ...
