Your Say

Two pieces in the Observer, February 7th, on page 22 caught my attention. One item was informing us as to how the Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner was going to spend my extra contribution to Sussex Police and the other item was from our MP telling us about her Brexit concerns.

It’s because I’m reasonable that I struggle with some things. I struggle with how loudly the view of the other is shouted but I let them speak.

The resignation of seven MPs from the Labour Party signals a very welcome break with the past.

I am a resident in Maudlin, Westhampnett, and I am sickened by the constant positive coverage of the business of Rolls Royce Motor Cars.

Once again there is much in the local news about concerns for the large amount of housing proposed for the district by the Government.

The city is getting choked with cars. The A27 is slowly strangling the city like a noose.

It seems the taxi rank has now been removed.

Of course the EU is doomed. $14.24 trillion of government debt says that the union is one dead duck.

The net effect of the proposed taxi rank closure is to deprive taxi drivers of income, boost Network Rail’s coffers with high priced parking permits and cause yet a further impediment to the disabled whether rail users or not.

I am grateful to Mr Arnold (letters 31/1/19) for raising the issue of public debt. I too do not like excessive public debt and the consequent burden of funding it, though that is as far as Mr Arnold and I are likely to agree.

Every year West Sussex county and district councils cut their service provision budgets but nobody has the foresight to examine the organisation which is needed to deliver those services in a cost effective way.

I am a concerned citizen of Chichester. Whatever is happening to our lovely city?

With the Chichester branch of House of Fraser closing, Chichseter Observer readers have been debating what should happen with the now vacant building.

The destruction of our natural landscape is under way at frightening speed: loss of species, loved places, quiet countryside.

Remainers give the impression that if we leave the EU without a trade deal our economy will collapse.

Before the closure of the House of Fraser store, the Chichester Observer asked residents to suggest a suitable replacement.

Now we know the rate for hiring Priory Park from Chichester District Council for the ice rink was £1 I would like to hire the park for a year for a fiver in order to run an event for families and the people of Chichester.

I wonder if you or your readers can help with a question that has puzzled our family for years.
