           <title>Why are there different rules?</title>

  I WALK to work at 5.30am as I work early shifts. Every morning I encounter Morrisons shift workers commuting on bicycles. The cyclists who have no lights or visible vests always ride two abreast on the pavement. While walking the dog today, I was missed by inches by a young lady riding her bike, in the daytime, on the pavement. I have a 16-year-old son who rides everywhere on a BMX, even Northwich to Winsford. He causes no trouble but has been stopped and fined £45 for riding on a pavement. I had to pay the fine as he does not work. He has been stopped on numerous occasions when he has been forced to ride on the pavement due to parking issues on narrow roads.

           <title>What about the extra traffic?</title>

  MY concern about the urban village is where is the extra traffic going to go? Guardian, April 24. If there are going to be 1,200 houses, you are looking at least 1,200 cars probably more as most households have two cars. As there is not going to be another bridge over the River Weaver, this means that Winnington Bridge is going to be the only way out of Winnington. This will be the only route out if you work in Warrington, Runcorn or Manchester, which is a no-go area with it being single traffic over the bridge.

           <title>Salary figures are astounding</title>

           <description><![CDATA[
  I WAS disgusted at reading the cost incurred by the Police and Crime Commissioner’s office, which was defended by the incumbent, John Dwyer, Guardian, April 17. I fully agree with the comments made in Jackie Boulton’s letter, Guardian April 24. However, I would like to add the following. The exorbitant wages bill is just the plainly visible cost and I suspect the total cost of the commissioner’s office will in fact be nearer the million mark. About a million pounds a year could be saved immediately by abolishing the post of crime commissioner and its entourage, which will only grow. It is absolutely astounding that he earns a basic salary of £75,000, and at the same time employs a part-time deputy earning £23,000 per year for three days a week, in addition to other chief executives on ridiculously high salaries, plus all his backroom staff to run efficiently, as he puts it.

  OF course this town needs and an eight lane swimming pool, one that will bring competitors in from other counties to have competitions here. I did all my swimming at the brine baths in Victoria Road and swam in gala’s there. Swimming is such a wonderful sport that it needs to be encouraged.

  I would like to express my feelings regarding the coverage of the campaign for eight lanes, ‘More questions than answers’, Guardian, May 8. Firstly, thank you for the article, it does display an accurate account of many of the details, but unfortunately, as your coverage states, there are still many unanswered questions waiting for a response from CWAC. CWAC quote they are listening to us, but what about the people who use this facility at least five times a week? Surely they are the ones that the council should really be listening to, not the families that may use it a couple of times a month to use the flume.

  AND yet again another near miss at that roundabout on top of Chesterway. When are people going to learn? You need to be in the right hand lane to exit, which is sign-posted after 12 so get in that right hand lane.
