Put this road back on track Feedback

- From: Peter Judge, Tofts Grove Gardens, Rastrick, Brighouse.

SLOGANS and soundbites seem to work, so here is one: “Get Bringroad Done”. The slogan may be tongue in cheek, but the intention is sincere. It is time to get the Brighouse Ring Road (“Bringroad”) finished. This was started in the 1960s; but left, since then, unfinished.

At the moment there are consultati­ons ongoing about improvemen­ts to the A641. Anyone who has ever driven along the A641 (the main road from Huddersfie­ld to Bradford) will know that the major bottleneck is at Brighouse. So Get Bringroad Done!

Blame Tories for abolishing free TV licences for over-75s – Yorkshire Post Letters

Anthony Lawton. They allowed the BBC to increase the licence (tax) above inflation on the understand­ing the BBC absorb the free licence fee (tax) after 10 years. Better if the BBC went selffinanc­ing, bringing it into the real world.

Paul Greathead. The only ones to blame are the BBC – not the Government.

Doug Manning. It’s 43p per day.

Pat Hargreaves. Extra money for the BBC to pay inflated salaries to their old pals who have little or no talent.

Gillian Worton. It was the BBC that took over from the Government and have now cancelled the free licence.

Neil Parker. The Tories have snatched the free licence fee off the pensioners, just like they snatched the free milk from the kids in the 70s.

Felicity Zeb. Part Two of the Leveson Inquiry should be launched.

Darren Tilby. Great idea.

Kevin Doo. What about high profile men? Is Holly Lynch MP discrimina­ting against half her constituen­ts?

Nancy Holdsworth. I think it is the rest of the world who need protecting from Meghan.

Why NHS workers deserve a proper pay rise rather than this insult – Yorkshire Post Letters

Si Birchall. Everyone should have a proper pay rise. NHS has had a 12.8 per cent over the last three years – shop workers, firemen and carers need one.

Yvonne Pinfield. Totally agree.

Zdzislaw Kozlowski. No more clapping? Don’t think it was an empty gesture. At least it was genuine.

Boris Johnson ‘devoted to levelling up across the entire country’

Trish Scott. Does anyone actually believe anything that Boris Johnson spouts? More fool them if they do.

Dave Cooper. As long as that area voted Tory.
