Letter: A barrier would stop station ‘campers’
Once again we have a community of ‘campers’ settling in the railway car park - paying nil and inconveniencing the paying public who work in surrounding towns, and it is left to the hard working public to meet the costs.
Sort out Pinderfields before you downgrade Dewsbury A&E
I read with interest Dr Matt Shepherd’s reply to Dr Thimmegowda’s letter highlighting the Nicholls report which condemns the closure of local hospitals and/or their services which then necessitates extra transport times to larger regional centres.
No need for alarm over Dewsbury and District Hospital A&E proposals
As clinicians we rarely want to enter into debate with colleagues in the pages of the media. However, we are concerned that the details contained in Dr Thimmegowda’s letter are misleading and may cause unnecessary alarm for local people.
1 commentStop atrocious downgrading of A&E at Dewsbury and District Hospital
The Mid Yorkshire Health Authority’s spin, supported by Miss Fishwick, consultant gynaecologist, in the Dewsbury Reporter, May 11, for changes in women’s and children’s services is yet again astonishing to say the least.

Letter: We support combined authority’s traffic plan
Kirklees Council’s interest in becoming part of a Combined Authority for West Yorkshire and beyond is an important step towards addressing traffic congestion at Cooper Bridge and in Ravensthorpe.

Letter: Our thanks to Eric Pickles for listening to LDF concerns
On Thursday, April 25, I along with other local residents and protest group leaders met with Eric Pickles, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, to put forward our objections to the Local Development Framework (LDF) which has been submitted to him for approval by Kirklees Council.
Letter: Legacy of destroying council housing
Given the government’s hostility to council house tenants and anyone claiming benefits, it is hardly surprising only a few people have bothered contacting Dewsbury’s Tory MP Simon Reevell regarding the Bedroom Tax (Reporter, April 26).
Letter: Dewsbury food book at world awards
Several people have asked how my book Dewsbury in Food and Photos fared in the recent World Cookbook Awards in Paris.
Letter: Hospital decision is already made
Although I have no political axe to grind, I gladly joined the demo last Saturday protesting about the NHS changes.
Letter: Walk was an absolute inspiration
I write this letter because of the wonderful effort of a group of people who came together to help a young women with the purchase of equipment to increase her mobility and independence.
Letter: Revelations in hospital waiting room
One of the only good things about sitting around in hospital waiting rooms is, that you sometimes get to talk to some lovely people.
