Confer elsewhere
During these days of constant warnings of possible bomb attacks am I the only mother to be very worried about the impending Labour Party conference? Surely an army or naval base would be safer for all concerned. While I understand the financial rewards

Revolting film poster terrifies my children
A mother was horrified to see film posters showing graphic images of a zombie child put up outside schools. Tracy Jones said the adverts for the 18-certificate film Dawn Of The Dead were grotesque and were frightening children. The film, released in the

I don't use the services so give me my discount
Worthing Borough Council slipped a teeny, dozen-word paragraph on to the bottom of the council tax bill I received this morning. It informed me that "The council has decided to discontinue the (50 per cent) discount on empty properties" as if this would

This servant is a sensitive subject
Many will be baffled by the claim that the Queen has served us for 50 years (Letters, March 22). The reality is just the opposite. The people of Britain, as well as the Commonwealth, have been serving the entire Royal Family since the Queen's forebears

Pregnancy is private and personal
With reference to Marc Quinn's sculpture of Alison Lapper, many of us do support people with physical, mental and learning disabilities and help to give them a better quality of life. We admire Alison Lapper and all she has achieved against adversity,

Sold out
My daughter and I go to the pictures a lot, yet we have to travel to Chichester and Brighton, as there just aren't the facilities in Worthing. For example, we wanted to see Love Actually at the Connaught but every night we tried it was fully booked. New

Out of touch
To say that the popularity of the multiplex cinema system is declining demonstrates how completely out of touch with reality some people are. Not just Chichester but also Brighton and Crawley are heaving with people taking advantage of the leisure facilities

Out of Africa
Out of the blue last week, my husband received a handwritten letter from a young girl claiming to be a nursing student at a Nursing college in Kampala, Uganda. She said that her father had been killed by rebels and she needed $700 sponsorship to be able

Council houses
Any move by EB4U to take over ownership and control of council housing in East Brighton must be resisted. It would be wrong to split up the stock throughout the city with different landlords. Such fragmentation weakens the whole sector. This proposal

Our miracle baby is finally home
Little miracle Carys Keeley is looking the picture of health despite weighing just 1lb 5oz at birth and spending her first three months stranded 100 miles from home. Carys' parents have finally been allowed to bring her home to Heathfield after doctors

Park and obstruct
I live in a cul-de-sac in Burgess Hill. At the end of our road is a junior school, so it's well used by parents dropping off and collecting their children, mornings and afternoons. To alleviate the traffic situation many residents park half on the pavement

A bold gateway
Teville Gate is such a fantastic location, offering an unique opportunity for the council to be bold and say something dramatic about the "gateway" to Worthing. Apart from the obvious argument of improving the aesthetics of the approaches to Worthing,

No more flats
The last thing Worthing needs is more flats, as there is such a "youth culture" problem, with no facilities in the town to cope with it. Worthing needs a decent cinema complex and Teville Gate would be ideal, given the parking and its accessibility both

Terrorists clearly had an influence on the Spanish general election which many commentators, including Adam Trimingham, are saying is a bad thing. But why is it? Are we conceding to their demands? Was the Spanish government warned it would be attacked

Fine but unfair
It is clear that Brighton and Hove City Council has for some time been waging war against the motorist. Never was this better illustrated than in Hove. Firstly, there was the introduction of parking charges. This deliberately targeted the workers, as
