Your letters - May 29

Dirty protest

ON Wednesday May 20, my friend and I had to use the public toilets in Devonshire Square,opposite the post office, to change my 14-week-old baby`s nappy and my friend's 34-week- old child`s nappy, but unfortunately we couldn't as a lovely resident/visitor of Bexhill had found the need to use some faeces to cover the wall of one of the toilet cubicles.

The stench was disgusting and I was nearly sick, as I guess most people were who went in there.

I would like through your paper to say a big thank you to that person for not only taking one of the few public toilets in Bexhill out of use, but also to show our children of the town how NOT to respect our town.

And another thing I would like to know is do they treat their own toilets at home like that?

The person who did this should be ashamed to be called a Bexhillian!

Is Greg still the man?

SHOULD our MP Greg Barker be permitted to represent us at the next general election?

Three years ago whilst appearing to be a happily married family man he was found to be having an extra-marital affair. Now he has been found to be caught up in the expenses scandal and has been in the national papers for all the wrong reasons.

Add to these that although he is the shadow climate change minister he actually supports the proposed Link Road and the thousands of domestic and commercial properties that will accompany it.

This development will replace carbon-fixing "green sites", namely countryside and farmland, with bricks and concrete,and will introduce thousands of extra carbon-producing vehicles into the area.

Obviously just the thing to do if you want to assist climate change!

Is this man really the best person to represents us at Parliament?

Vote next week

I READ your article last week concerning our MP Mr Barker, the odd little man who insults us by averring that he would never refund a penny of the alleged fraudulent expense claims. And his selection committee stays schtum?

Fellow citizens, you have your vote and the chance to make a start at the June 4 elections,

A much-missed friend

RECENTLY I had to make the sad decision to have my lovely boxer Molly put down.

I know there are worst troubles in the world, however anyone who has owned a well-loved animal knows how hard it is to come to terms with the dreadful feeling of loss and mixed emotions that perhaps you have betrayed this member of the family.

I would like to say thank you to relatives, friends and neighbours for the kindness shown to me and my family now Molly is no longer a popular and well-known figure around the town.

Also especially to Stephen White of Claremont Veterinary Group and his entire staff for the wonderful support they have given me and my numerous dogs over the years and, of course, more recently for their compassion and care for my dear boxer Molly.
