Apollo Pavilion
10:14am Saturday 13th March 2010
I WAS pleased to see your article about Peterlee which featured the Apollo Pavilion (Echo, March 11).
Labour failures
10:14am Saturday 13th March 2010
IT is with some disbelief that I read the constant letters and columns attacking Conservative policies of the Eighties. These people seem to suffer from convenient amnesia when ignoring the bankrupt state of the country in the Seventies.
Labour fantasy
10:15am Saturday 13th March 2010
AGAIN, Labour’s legislators show how out of touch they are with the real world.
Our England
10:15am Saturday 13th March 2010
I TURNED 42 on Thursday. This means I am unfortunate. Like most of the population, I am too young to have been able to give my opinion on Britain’s membership of the EU. Yet we are supposed to live in a democracy.
Policing
10:16am Saturday 13th March 2010
RE Councillor Nick Wallis’ comments urging residents to sign up for Neighbourhood Watch rather than pay for a private security firm to police their area (Echo, some editions, March 11).
Stop the war
10:16am Saturday 13th March 2010
HOW much longer are the good people of Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire, going to line their streets to watch the flag-draped coffins of soldiers killed in Afghanistan slowly pass?
'The Great Game'
10:17am Saturday 13th March 2010
DURING the late 19th and early 20th Century “The Great Game”
General election
10:18am Saturday 13th March 2010
IN the forthcoming General Election campaign we will have clear differences between the main parties at least in the presentational sense. In the red corner, we will find the glowering presence of Gordon Brown backed up by the massed ranks of Scottish ministers and MPs.
Thanks, lads...
10:18am Saturday 13th March 2010
RECENTLY, the bungalow in which I live has undergone major refurbishment comprising double glazing, rewiring, central heating, new kitchen and bathroom. It was a bit of an ordeal at the time, but well worth it.
Surgery blaze
10:10am Friday 12th March 2010
I CONDEMN the actions of the two children involved in the blaze that destroyed the Adan House surgery in Spennymoor and it is clear that the father of one of the boys is sincere in his apology for his child’s actions (Echo, March 8).
State of Britain
10:12am Friday 12th March 2010
THE single mother issue, as raised by Merv Bain (HAS, March 9), is a disgrace as is the PlayStation generation who sit in their parents’ homes in their mid-twenties and avoid work at all costs.
Hague-Ashcroft
10:13am Friday 12th March 2010
Richmond MP William Hague got Conservative Party deputy chairman Lord Ashcroft a peerage on the basis that he would become resident in this country for tax purposes in the year 2000.
Refugees
10:15am Friday 12th March 2010
THERE is a common misconception that half the world’s refugees are heading for England. Only a small proportion of immigrants into Britain are asylum seekers.
Care Home threat
10:15am Friday 12th March 2010
I WAS at the well-attended meeting in Newton Aycliffe on Thursday evening last week to listen to the presentation given by representatives of Durham County Council over the issue of the future of the county’s care homes.
Charity box theft
10:16am Friday 12th March 2010
MYSELF and members of the Barnard Castle King Edward VIII Lodge of the RAOB have been kindly allowed to put collection tins in various establishments in the town in aid of the Help for Heroes fund.
