Tories' choice for city seat is not from Salisbury

John Glen, the new Conservative parliamentary candidate for Salisbury. DB7359P05

10:35am Thursday 4th February 2010

The Conservatives have made a grave error by selecting a candidate who does not live in Salisbury. I don't think that this will go down well in Salisbury. This has surely rendered the seat no longer safe?

MPs with ambition can also embrace 'pavement politics'

10:35am Thursday 28th January 2010

Tim Stroud in his defence of an ‘intelligently ambitious MP’, (postbag, Jan 21) appears to have completely missed the point of local concerns regarding the selection process of our next candidate for the local Parliamentary seat.

New traffic proposals are a ludicrous idea for city

10:22am Thursday 28th January 2010

Regarding the ‘£15 million Traffic Blueprint’ (Salisbury Journal, January 21), I read with interest and incredulity your report on this ‘plan’. It seems that, once again, we are in receipt of another masterpiece from Cloud Cuckoo Land.

It's time for planners to rethink the core strategy

11:24am Thursday 21st January 2010

I THINK that many people would agree with me that it is time that the voice of reason was heard in the land, particularly over the issues of the core strategy and the provision of new housing in our area.

It's not just motorists that feel the potholes

Is taking rubbish back in too much to ask?

I AM amazed at the amount of laziness and lack of respect for other people that I have seen on the streets in the village of Martin (near Fordingbridge), and indeed all over the Salisbury area.

Personal responsibilities during adverse weather

I read with interest the letter from Mr Haynes of Wilton published in last week's Journal.

Council failed to keep footways safe

12:23pm Thursday 7th January 2010

I AM the proprietor of a local taxi service operating in Salisbury and district.

Does anyone support plans for the city?

12:27pm Thursday 7th January 2010

S M Baber (Journal Postbag, December 10) is not alone in trying to stop the council from its naff plans for Queen Elizabeth Gardens and the market square.

Village roads need gritting

12:25pm Thursday 7th January 2010

MAY I, through your columns, ask one simple question? With all the experts telling us to cut down on our salt intake, has the council decided to adopt this policy as a money-saving plan by not gritting any of our rural roads in Redlynch?
