Lazy drivers
Published 20 November 2008
I HAD to smile when I read the article concerning parking and yellow lines in Prudhoe (Courant, November 14). I had already decided that the people driving into Prudhoe must be amongst the laziest in the county.
Unflattering
Published 20 November 2008
I WISH to express my dismay at the critique of the book Air Crash Northumberland (Courant, Novemner 7)in which the authors are described in very unflattering terms.
Gratitude
Published 20 November 2008
AS we prepared to celebrate ‘Veterans Day’ on November 11, your recent book review (Courant, November 7) was quite timely .
Police cuts
Published 20 November 2008
HOW disturbing it was to read that Chief Superintendent Lambert plans to drastically reduce the police cover in Tynedale after 6pm on a daily basis (Courant, November 7).
Police cover remains at a record level
Published 20 November 2008
I THOUGHT that the ‘horrified’ reaction of MP Peter Atkinson to the re-deployment of some police officers from Tynedale to South-east Northumberland was rather over the top (Courant, November 7).
Deployment
Published 20 November 2008
I WISH to thank you for giving prominence to the threatened redeployment of police officers from Tynedale to Ashington and Bedlington, (Courant, November 7).
Store opening will add to problems
Published 20 November 2008
I HAVE to agree with Coun. Lorna Garrett’s recent comments about protecting pedestrians from the traffic dangers created by illegally parked cars in Prudhoe Front Street.
Real costs

NO one doubts the economic benefits of the Hexham Egger plant (Courant Letters, November 7).
M&S support

HEXHAM’S Coun. Matty Donnelly says he is disappointed that Marks & Spencer has refused to contribute to the Christmas lights in the town this year (Courant, November 7.
A missed chance to leave lasting legacy
Published 13 November 2008
YOUR front page headline about Tynedale Council’s £20 million nest egg was just so shocking and upsetting (Courant, October 31).
Sorry saga
Published 13 November 2008
THE sorry saga of Tynedale’s £20 million surrender (Courant, October 31) seems somewhat at odds with your leader column in the same edition.
White horses
Published 13 November 2008
HAVING seen the white horses’ heads outside the new Fat Giraffe store shop opposite Tesco in Hexham, I’d just like to say what a striking and positive addition they make to the approach to the town. To my mind this is an inspiring and distinctive piece of public art. Congratulations to the shop owners.
Two-tier reform was doomed to failure
Published 13 November 2008
HAVING recently retired as headteacher of Highfield Middle School, in Prudhoe, I read with interest your recent front page article regarding the strong possibility of middle schools remaining in parts of Northumberland (Courant, October 10).
Pool agenda
Published 13 November 2008
WITH reference to Coun. Kennedy’s statements, may I point out an inaccuracy when he speaks of the new swimming pool (Courant, October 31)?
Nest egg
Published 13 November 2008
AS a former resident of Whitfield and Allendale, and ‘belonging’ and being brought up in Haltwhistle, it was nice to see my adopted home Berwick upon Tweed mentioned in your front page article (Courant, October 31).
Time to call a halt to Egger’s expansion
Published 7 November 2008
PETER Rodger is right to alert the Hexham public to the latest Egger plans by showing us his artist’s impression of how the proposed factory might look. (Courant, October 31),
Fiscal fact
Published 6 November 2008
I would like to correct some of the recent outpourings by Liberal Democrat councillors about Tynedale Council's perceived lack of spending. They have been focused on headlines rather that fiscal fact.
Perspective
Published 6 November 2008
HEXHAM’S Egger plant has undoubtedly grown in recent years, but it has also become cleaner, quieter and safer.
Enormous

EGGER has recently applied to erect a new production facility to the east of its current site, on what is currently farmland.
