I AM sure that there are many people in our town who wonder why our council spent so much money on the steel bird sculpture in Daubhill.

I am sure the money could have been put to better use, moreso when one sees a picture of a lady who was hurt falling over a raised paving on Newport Street.

There was also a letter on the same evening from another lady who had fallen in Newport Street.

I live in Morris Green, and Edgehill Road and Longfield Road also have raised and sinking pavements.

One cannot walk looking straight ahead -- it's a case of "eyes down".

We used to have young men coming round using weedkiller but not any more.

Someone suggested changing names of places. Well, "Weedsville" would be very fitting for Morris Green.
