Rotten’s truly fabulous!

RECENTLY I walked the length of Rotten Row in Southport.

What a fabulous display the volunteer group have worked so hard to make and maintain!

They all deserve recognition for the time and effort they put into making our town beautiful and welcoming for visitors.

RECYCLE – AND SPEND

RE Central 12 Retail Park, Southport.

Many motorists who park on the site often use it to visit the town centre rather than the shops.

There is no incentive to go there unless you wish to visit Asda, The Range or the other shops.

Boots is planning to close some stores. The shop would make an ideal walk in centre/Boots shop. Plenty of parking.

There is a walk-in centre in Birmingham close to New Street station on the lower ground floor.

Many years ago there was a recycling point.

It was always busy with people arriving by car to drop off papers, cans and bottles.

When Sefton Council took over kerbside collection it just left three banks: shoes and clothes going to charity. People would drop off items and maybe go to shop. I never see anyone there now. What would bring in people is if we had a small electrical bank because the nearest one is at Foul Lane.

I have just learned that Sainsbury’s has just had planning permission approved. The plans include a recycling point.

It looks like it will be a charity clothing bank because anything else can be dropped off at the recycling depot in Foul Lane.

By the time the supermarket has been built the new deposit bottle and can recycling machines will be operating.

The money received could be in the form of a voucher to spend in the shop. BJ Powell Southport

OAPS COMPLAINING

THE cost of a TV licence works out at about 50p a day, so I don’t see why people are complaining all the time.

It beggars belief that a pensioner cannot afford 50p a day to sit watching the telly from first thing in the morning until last thing at night, or is this just more of this left-wing socialist nonsense?

I only want the BBC for the sport and weather, I am not interested in the details of the news, because it is conveyed in a biased way.

The gullible don’t realise there is a hidden agenda, and if it is not party political it is something else.

It is the same with the BMA and doctors wanting to treat the world for free and what is the ‘reasoning’ behind this?

Again left-wing socialism, a fantasy world of chaos and science fiction. M O’Malley Southport
