  Letters Caring Staff at Tesco’s

Dear Sir,

I am disabled and use a wheelchair in Tesco’s and I would like to thank all their staff who are always very helpful when I need assistance with my shopping.

On Saturday I was even helped by a customer who took my shopping to my car. There is still kindness around.

  Letters Why Town Council Didn’t Attend Public Meeting

Re article on Town Council not attending Public Meeting"

It is worth noting the Leader of the Labour Group on the Town Council sits on the elected committee of Great Aycliffe Residents Association. I have no problem with Bob Fleming sitting on this committee as a Town Council representative, but it does not take a lot to work out that in some situations a conflict of interest is going to arise.

It also may be worthwhile explaining the background on how the Town Council decided not to attend. At the last Town Council meeting I nominated Councillor Terry Hogan (Independent) to sit on the panel to discuss vandalism etc at the Public Meeting. This nomination was put forward and seconded and was fully endorsed and supported by the majority of Independent Councillors present, so at that point someone was attending. At someone’s insistence this went to a vote and the result was that several Councillors decided no one should represent the Council. In essence the Labour Group knocked it back rather than have an Independent Councillor represent them!

It’s fair to say that the people are not fully represented in a lot of areas, particularly where there is no contribution from an elected Independent Councillor. New Labour decides who sits on what committee and ensures their total domination in running what happens in the town.

Both, by not taking up the invitation from the Great Aycliffe Residents and the aforementioned carve up only adds fuel to the fire and serves to highlight a lack of openness and transparency on their part.

I am not surprised they declined the invitation, but it would be very remiss to think that the whole Town Council supported their refusal to attend.

  Letters Embarrassment over lack of public toilets

Dear Sir,

I regularly use the Leisure Centre toilets and I have never had to join a queue for the toilet. I simply stand at the turnstile until the person behind the counter sees me and lets me through.

At first I found that embarrassing as that is all I visit the Centre for, but not to have a town public toilet is more embarrassing when visitors come to this town.

But I suppose it must be even more embarrassing for those people in public office who keep ignoring our pleas for public toilets!

Amazed

  Community Famous Olympian Visits Town

 

As part of the build up to the 7 young sports coaches from Woodham Community Technology College flying out to America to coach on an American Summer Camp for a month, ex Olympic medallist and world record holder, Steve Cram came to Newton Aycliffe to support the COACH USA programme.

Steve, along with another ex Olympian Allison Curbishley visited Woodham to watch the students coach and deliver a presentation to the Olympians and representatives from the Tony Blair Sports Foundation & Street Games. The coaching that was delivered to lucky students from Vane Rd, Sugar Hill and Woodham Burn Schools was a showcase of the young coaches talents and an insight into the development that they have all enjoyed through working with Dale and Darren Anderson from Active Inclusion.

On watching the student lead presentation, Steve Cram commented "I am extremely impressed with what I have seen today, if that was my 16 yr old son standing up there delivering a presentation in that manner, I would be extremely proud of him!". Steve also congratulated the students on their commitment so far and commented that it was great to see so many enthusiastic young people getting involved in the grass roots development of sport.

Darren Anderson, managing director of Active Inclusion, the local sports coaching company that are putting the coaches through their coach education programme said "This has been a truly wonderful day and the young sports coaches have excelled themselves. It has been great to see so many high profile people here today to support the programme and it just shows how well these students are doing. All their hard work and hours of development work throughout their coach education programme has paid off".

As a bonus, on the day, and a surprise to the students, Steve Cram officially enrolled the coaches into the Tony Blair Sports Foundation and gave them exclusive access to their first level 1 coaching qualification in Athletics which is to be funded in partnership with Street Games and the Tony Blair Sports Foundation.

You can follow the progress of the students on Camp Cody in America by logging on to the COACH USA blog at www.coachusa.wordpress.com and you can check out the camp itself at www.cody.org.

  Letters Where is the Fraud Squad?

Dear Sir,

The conduct of many elected MP’s is disgusting to say the least regarding the fraudulent way many have obtained monies they should never have received.

And what about the crooks in the House of Lords who are feathering their nests one way or another at the public’s expense ?

These are the people who set living standards for the sick, disabled and pensioners yet they make sure they do not have to worry about what bills they can pay or can’t pay.

We have people working ungodly hours just to keep a roof over their heads, feed themselves and their families. Why should any investigation into these crimes be "In House"

Why are they not being investigated by the fraud squad as any other person in this country would be ?

Without doubt these transgressors have knowingly taken advantage of a situation that should never have existed. Why cannot a suitable building with private rooms for each MP be found or built? It could include a common room, dining area etc and this would eliminate the need for personal expenses.

It smells like another case of the rich protecting the rich as is the case with bankers who have caused so much havoc, heartache and misery for the masses.

They acted in a criminal manner causing businesses to collapse, putting people out of work and their homes. Why were they not stripped of their assets and thrown in jail?

Thousands of people have been affected by their actions yet they walk away with a pat on the back and thousands of pounds in their accounts as pensions or bonuses.

Totally Disgusted Native Brit
