The policy, in general, is a great introduction, indeed, we applaud a policy enabling the public to obtain information on eating establishments, but please make sure this information is current and accurate.

The Herald Series went for the slightly more conservative ‘Concern over food check’. Wed, 08 Jul 2009 09:00:00 +0100 2143938debb7b95b0b296924ea871555 http://www.heraldseries.co.uk/news/opinion/letters/4476871.Problems/?ref=rss Sir, I paid my first visit to the newly reopened Oakley Wood recycling centre to deposit a few recyclables and to have a look at the £700,000 investment. The place is beautifully clean and tidy and, at first sight, very well organised, until that is you stand back and look at the problems people have in putting their goods into the bins.

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 09:00:00 +0100 412108c1b3a446c3e5e3d5f80beaa854 http://www.heraldseries.co.uk/news/opinion/letters/4476879.Enchanted/?ref=rss Sir, I am not in the habit of raving` about amateur theatrical productions. However, after seeing a dress rehearsal of Polly Gibson’s ´Peter Pan, I was so enchanted by the staging of this story that I wanted to share my enormous enjoyment and urge anyone who has not already booked to buy tickets for this delightful and inventive production at the Corn Exchange, Wallingford, until July 11.

However, I was absolutely astonished that Ock Street was part of this work. Those that use this road, the A415, will know that it has gradually deteriorated over the last few months. Wed, 08 Jul 2009 09:00:00 +0100 526efffd906a44dd0ad9d03c9ead3994 http://www.heraldseries.co.uk/news/opinion/letters/4476888.Refreshing/?ref=rss Sir, Following last week’s decision by South Oxfordshire District Council to reject planning proposals for developments in Crowmarsh, how refreshing it was to hear another proposed developer, presenting to Wallingford Town Council, offer to respect the democratic process of the core strategy and its consultation process. Attempts by Bloor Homes and Wates Developments to steamroller applications ahead of this important process are disrespectful to the council, the community and to local democracy. Wed, 08 Jul 2009 09:00:00 +0100 34f4597fcf316d57eb3e3094bb254603 http://www.heraldseries.co.uk/news/opinion/letters/4476892.Support_view/?ref=rss Sir, As a local resident of many years, I heartily agree with the comments made by J Preston in the Herald two weeks ago. Why more apartments when there are so many already being built in and around Wantage? Also, why not indeed use the already empty premises for restaurants, if they are needed. There are several eating places which cater for visitors etc, for example, the museum which supplies very good food and has the advantage of showing folk the history of the town. Wed, 08 Jul 2009 09:00:00 +0100 af161580616ce8adf23bb4bc16d237c4 http://www.heraldseries.co.uk/news/opinion/letters/4476897.Well_done/?ref=rss Sir, I would like to congratulate SODC on their introduction of the new waste collection system. Wed, 08 Jul 2009 09:00:00 +0100 1faf99e21373a6e958a7af53610f4f2c http://www.heraldseries.co.uk/news/opinion/letters/4464316.Councillor_s_rubbish_comments_were__dreadful_/?ref=rss Sir, I was surprised and disappointed to read the comments by David Dodds about the roll-out of the new waste service across South Oxfordshire. There have been many problems caused by the way this process has been implemented, and I'm afraid that what I hope will be a very useful and effective new service has been marred by what I can only describe as a lamentable introduction.
