It’s not a crime to sing and be patriotic

-

I JUST don’t understand why the great rousing songs of the Proms are causing so much anger and controvers­y.

They are the highlight of the concert giving us the chance to sing loud and celebrate our country.

It’s not a crime to be patriotic and no-one can change history. It’s history that has forged this nation into what it is now. Giving us the opportunit­y to live as we choose, apart from the coronaviru­s restrictio­ns that is, and enjoy the freedom that our history has given us.

It’s time to join together as a nation and move forward.

Take responsibi­lity and end fly-tipping

INTERESTIN­G to read about a fly-tipping crackdown in CT this week.

I visited my local tip at the weekend after booking an appointmen­t earlier in the week. It all went ahead as smoothly as could be. The staff were helpful and friendly and I got the job done in minutes.

So why do people throw their rubbish in fields, parks and street corners? It is a lazy and irresponsi­ble thing to do, leaving it for someone else to pick up.

Please take responsibi­lity of your waste and our towns and fields will be a much nicer place.

L. Morgan, Nuneaton.

Our seasons are certainly changing

I CAN’T remember a rain-lashed and wind-battered end of summer like we are having now.

And looking back I can’t remember many springs as hot as we had in April and May.

The seasons are certainly changing, surely climate change is having something to do with it.
