Hundreds gathered to remember the NAAFI
12:17pm Thursday 2nd September 2010
JUST a week ago, a get together took place in Larkhill, where some 200 people gathered to remember and, for some, to mourn the loss of the Navy, Army and Air Force Institute, known nationally and affectionately as NAAFI.
Villagers muck-in to clear fallen tree
12:09pm Thursday 2nd September 2010
MONDAY was a day of high winds and as I drove, at lunchtime, from East Grimstead to Farley, I was not surprised to find the road at Knightwood completely blocked by an enormous fallen tree.
Solstice Park - a bit of a herring?
12:04pm Thursday 2nd September 2010
TOWARDS the end of the last millennium a group of businessmen thought Amesbury needed some new employment.
Vexed question of rubbish collection
10:06am Thursday 2nd September 2010
AS a family, we have read the Wiltshire Information and we do not support the council's proposal.
Good reasons for the double yellow lines
11:24am Thursday 19th August 2010
IT is a pity that your correspondent, Linda Robson, (Journal, August 12th) is upset by the recent placing of double yellow lines in Bouverie Avenue.
High car park charges driving shoppers away
11:12am Thursday 12th August 2010
IT seems only a short time ago we were told that it would be less costly to have a unitary council for Wiltshire.
New academy uniform look cheap to me
10:51am Thursday 12th August 2010
THE new uniform for Sarum Academy is a bad choice. It looks cheap and untidy. The present uniform, with a crisp white shirt and tie and blazer, is so smart. We will soon see the children wearing sweatshirts tied round their waists just like the old Westwood St Thomas days.
New park and ride flop was predicted
10:59am Thursday 5th August 2010
At last the folly of the Petersfinger park and ride has been exposed (‘New park and ride flops’ Journal, July 29). Jim Flux has revealed that, what many warned would happen, has occurred. To put such a facility on the most congested road into Salisbury was foolish and even Tesco, which owned much of the land, can barely have benefited with custom from its clever investment. It remains to be seen if the light controlled access to both parking and Petersfinger Road has drawn more unwanted traffic along the latter but it has blocked the only realistic bypass route.
'Christian charity' is lost on some residents of The Close
10:55am Thursday 5th August 2010
Those of us who recall the austere beauty of the Cathedral Close only 40 years ago will feel little sympathy with Patricia Smith, speaking on behalf of today’s Residents’ Association, when she criticises the reduction in the number of constables on the grounds that “people here pay more for their houses” (Salisbury Journal, July 29).
Prejudice and ignorance towards community projects
10:45am Thursday 5th August 2010
I am writing to thank your reporter Annie Riddle for her piece in last week’s Journal on the public unease at the way in which the community Area Grant scheme is working. I was not at the area board but a highly respected trustee in the voluntary sector locally described it to me as the most shambolic meeting he had ever attended.
