Book offers a fascinating insight into city’s history

Closing crossing is madness

Fri, 17 May 2013 10:27:53 GMT

One cannot help wondering if the new Shopwyke Lakes development is being used as a cover story by the Highways Agency to close the crossing. Not so long ago they spent vast sums of taxpayers money upgrading them... why?

Poor decision will cause chaos on the roads

Thu, 16 May 2013 16:29:23 GMT

You have reported (Observer, May 9) the irresponsible action of the planning authorities from Chichester District Council who are prepared to close the Oving Road and dispense with the traffic lights which make a safe crossing over the A27 for so many.

Nostalgia article brings back old memories

Thu, 16 May 2013 16:29:23 GMT

I was most interested in the article about the Boys’ Club as, although I was never a member, I did know some of the boys mentioned as they attended the Lancastrian School when I did in the 1940’s.

Having read your paper, which I do every week, I would just like to point out how disappointed I am with your article on the front page, Disabled People Face Uphill Battle (Observer, April 25).

No business like hose business

Thu, 16 May 2013 15:55:45 GMT

There’s nothing worse than splashing out your hard-earned cash on a new piece of garden equipment only to discover that when you get it home you find that the assembly instructions have been compiled by an idiot with a low IQ, and probably potty to the power of ten.

The effect on residents is not being considered

Thu, 16 May 2013 15:17:13 GMT

In all the discussions about the Shopwyke Lakes development and whether the Oving traffic lights crossing should close, it’s disappointing little consideration is being given to the impact on residents on the Chichester side of the A27 if the development goes ahead without the crossing being closed.

Time for confusion to come to an end

Thu, 16 May 2013 15:00:30 GMT

As a marathon runner, my regularly-recurring nightmare is that I get so slow I actually start moving backwards. I had precisely that feeling when I tried to wade through the tiers of local government while trying to organise the launch of our fabulous new Festival of Chichester.
