YP Letters: Concentrate efforts on addressing UK’s many problems
0 Have your say From: Doug Downes, Ban Road South, Beckingham, Notts. SOME thoughts on the article by MP Barry Sheerman (The Yorkshire Post, May 3) regarding road deaths around the world.We already have a massive decrease in road deaths in the UK (as with fire and industrial deaths) considering the huge growth in traffic – from 6,000 deaths per year up until 20 or 30 years ago. These figures have been reached through legislation, cameras, campaigns, safer vehicles, driver education, etc. Could you realistically see that in countries like India, Somalia, Africa as a whole? He is telling us facts we already know and it is a sad statistic, I agree.But do he and the Labour Party intend to try and stop wars, atrocities, plagues, famines that curse this world? I really wonder what power he seems to believe he has.He should instead put some effort into combating the UK’s obesity, crime, poverty and litter problems.Does he really believe that you can influence the likes … [Read more...] about YP Letters: Concentrate efforts on addressing UK’s many problems

Newsday letters to the editor for Monday, April 2, 2018
Where will the new commuters park? The developers of the proposed Syosset Park housing-business project still have not addressed its impact on the parking problems that already exist at the Syosset train station and in the neighboring residential area [“Drawings of project unveiled,” News, March 26]. Town parking lots at the Long Island Rail Road station are often filled by 7:15 a.m. on weekdays, and commuters scramble to find parking in the residential area. Much of that area has been posted with “no parking” signs. Where will the occupants of the 625 Syosset Park residences park for their commutes into New York City? Unless this issue is addressed, the quality of life for new arrivals and for longtime Syosset residents will be a nightmare. Laura Schultz, Syosset Editor’s note: The writer is president of Residents for a More Beautiful Syosset, a civic group. The FBI is watching out for America Writer Jonathan Zimmerman’s “Why I learned to … [Read more...] about Newsday letters to the editor for Monday, April 2, 2018
