Straight to the point.

WHAT a pity the escaped tortoise from St Brides only made it as far as St Fagans. Maybe he was on his way to the National Assembly! I WOULD like to thank all the kind readers who anonymously sent me their Tesco vouchers for school computers. The promotion has now ended, but I am still accepting them until the end of May.

I AM writing concerning the proposed closure of the excellent Tegfan day hospital at Whitchurch, Cardiff. My son has been a patient there for more than four years and it has been a lifeline for him. It is run by a group of dedicated staff and its closure would be devastating for the many mentally-ill patients who attend it as there seems to be no proposal to replace it.

IF you live on or travel along Barry's Port Road to work, shop or take your kids to school, or use Cardiff airport for business trips or holiday travel, do you want to sit in even longer queues? We all realise the need for a crematorium in the Vale of Glamorgan. But, why oh why would planners put it on the busiest road in Barry?
