Comment on The House Spider by Bug Buster

A massive and really quick house spider ran across my lounge floor the other day and ‘bumped’ into my old english sheepdog…even she noticed and woke up! I measured the squashed remains (after I had jumped on top of the sofa and thrown every item in the living room at it) at 8cm from tip to tip of the legs!

Comment on Stewart Jackson on Europe by Rogerio Antunes

I am very impressed at Stewart’s character to be his own man and vote for what he believes in regardless of personal gain within the Conservative party. We need strong minded and clever politicians. Anyone who supports tackling “backward looking bureaucratic politically corrupt customs” has my vote!

It’s the curse of BBC local radio. Nothing ever gets followed up.

Council paid money to the Showground to host the election count. They weren’t happy to use the Town Hall like every other administration before them.

I am very dissapointed this has been cancelled, we have been going since our Children were little & now take our Grandchildren each year, we live nearby & for one night a year traffic problems surely can be organised & tolerated by all. Ferry Meadows puts on very little in the way of organised events & allthough I would not want it to be overtaken by comercial events like Buckden, I do feel it needs to cater for a variety of interests for young & old. All the reasons given by the Councillor are excuses this event has lived side by side with wildlife, transport & access for over 20 years whats different now, the size of the display & attendance has not grown significantly in the past 20 years. Its the same old story for Peterborough on entertainment if you want it travel to another town because we are not doing it here, we have nothing in the way of big venues, attractions or places of interest. No big Theater, Stadium, Event Dome or even Special Attraction i.e. Theme Park etc.

Comment on Peter Boizot on the Broadway Theatre by Maggie Atterbury

I was merely trying to find out what Peter Boizot is up to these days. So sad to read about the demise of The Broadway. We need more Peters in this world.! I attended his 60th birthday party at The Pizza on the Park and can`t believe that it was so long ago!

Good luck

Comment on New Toys for Peterborough Councillors by Kevin Roddis

There is something fundamentally wrong with the system when the council announces that it’s transparent and will communicate fully with the electorate about finances but when someone looks into it we are told that the council can not afford to communicate with those who pay; but now find that they can afford a premium product when it comes to communicating with each other and officers. Most of my contact with councillors and officers indicates that they are incapable of using any technology since emails and phone messages go unanswered so why even provide a basic phone or laptop?
