LETTERSFrom Matt Edmunds, director, Stainless Games Ltd, Newport:
I RUN an office of 50 people in the centre of Newport, and we have a number of staff who cycle in from Cowes every day.

LETTERSFrom Gary Eldridge, Ryde:
AS Southern Water has the right to increase prices as it sees fit, so do customers have the right not to pay the increase and to either enter negotiations singularly or collectively to reach an agreement.

LETTERSFrom M. Clark, Freshwater:
ISLAND pupils are trailing behind the national average (CP, January 27). Is it any wonder when the headmistress at Carisbrooke College allegedly gives pupils not wearing correct uniform detention?

LETTERSFrom Tim Bristow, Seaview:
INTERESTING articles ‘State of the Island debate’ (CP, 27-01-12) and ‘Can IW attract new factory’ and ‘IW to get better business help’ (CP, 20-01-12).

LETTERSFrom Mrs Doreen Gazey, Wootton:
I BELIEVE the main topic of conversation in the UK is supposed to be the weather.

LETTERSFrom Mr W. P. Elems, Ryde:
I READ on a regular basis in the CP of dog attacks on other dogs, often with serious injury and even death as a result. It is a fact that such attacks occur on a daily basis around the country, this evening (Sunday) I learn from the national news of a young girl being seriously mauled and losing an ear.

LETTERSFrom Ernest Lowe, Shanklin:
So now they’re here; the beautiful environment-enhancing wheelie bins, together with two sizes of smelly food caddies and fortnightly collections. Thank you IW Council for making the Island more green.

LETTERSFrom Mr M. Nobbs, (secretary, IW Trades Union Councils), Newport:
WHILE I welcome our Island MP’s promise (CP, 20-01-12) to seek a meeting with Marcus Bryson, GKN chief executive, who I met many years ago while on the works committee at GKN, I must express concern at comments made concerning whether the Island has assisted area status.

LETTERSFrom Maureen Phillips, Sandown:
I READ, with increasing incredulity, the report (CP, 20-01-12) that Stuart Love was ‘saving’ the IW Council money by spending part of each week working in Southampton.

LETTERSFrom Miss J. Wills, Cowes:
WITH regard to the perpetual roadworks and delays on the Cowes to Newport road.

LETTERSFrom Don Hughes, Totland Bay:
BEING a dog owner, my sympathy goes out to the owners of Charlie, the cockerpoo that was killed by a Staffordshire bull terrier.

LETTERSFrom Cllr Margaret Prior (mayor of East Cowes):
IT was a relief to learn from last week’s CP that capital has been found to replace our ageing chain ferry through “prudential borrowing” — a loan to be repaid over 25 years, apparently, (CP, 13-01-12).

LETTERSFrom Oliver Jones, property communications manager, Asda:
ASDA’s planning application for a new store on the St George’s Way site, Newport, is likely to be submitted in the next few months.

LETTERSFrom Dominic Pope, Shanklin:
IN response to Charlotte Hofton’s column ‘Our responses need a dose of common sense’ (CP, 13-01-12).

LETTERSFrom Phil Cave, Newport:
HOW ironic that on the same page (CP, 06-01-12) one report is on local businesses reacting to Mary Portas’s report about keeping high streets alive by not letting out-of-town supermarkets become a reality while on another is Asda’s application for a superstore just outside Newport.
