Having read the article regarding the aviary at Ayscoughfee Gardens, I personally feel that as long as the birds are all monitored and thoroughly cared for, it is a good idea to keep the aviary going.It is a joy to see the birds and they are an asset to the gardens.I have often noticed small children fascinated by the birds ...

Perhaps not for the first time, a letter about the chaos at the Spalding Recycling Centre.For the second Friday in succession the queue of traffic was back to the Wardentree Lane roundabout, thus allowing me a significant amount of time to consider how better I could recycle my waste (a solid bag of cement that SHDC collectors had probably rightly ...

Following on from my failure to get re-elected to South Holland DC, I would like to thank the people in St Mary’s who voted for me and apologise to them for not doing enough to secure wider support.I was obviously disappointed that not only could I not secure the wider vote, it was also clear on the night that with ...

I am a frequent shopper to The Original Factory Shop in Holbeach.Yes, they have nice homeware etc but the reason I keep returning is the service.The staff are exceptional, especially toward disabled people.When I was growing up, this sort of service was normal, but now, it’s very rare.Well done, The Original Factory Shop, your staff are excellent.Dorene LoosFleet
