Hands tied
AFTER reading comments by Coun. Colin Horncastle (Courant Letters, August 13), I was very interested in his comments that, despite receiving high levels of public objection to certain applications, the new county council planning committee’s hands are tied because they have to adhere to policies adopted by the council as part of the local framework plan.

Persuasive powers
AS a member of the frequently maligned west area planning committee, I read with interest Hextol`s view “that there is absolutely no point in organising petitions, writing letters of objection or attending planning meetings to object to any planning proposals” (Courant, August 20).

Residents have few parking options
IN RESPONSE to your article (Courant, August 13) about parking along the Corbridge Road, in Hexham and comments about the White Cross residents, if Coun. Donnelly had taken the time to check with the south side residents, he would have discovered that they already do park in the cul-de-sac round the corner.

Positive outlook
I feel I must respond to the use of the terms ‘useless’ and ‘pathetic’ in relation to the day centre at Greenholme, in Haltwhistle (Courant, August 213).

Kielder is remarkable success story for region
FROM 1978 to 1980 I was the civil engineer who supervised the construction of Bakethin Weir, and I found Colin Tapping’s feature (Courant, August 13) very misleading.

Dog owners
I AM beaten. I am totally unable to find one reason why C. Docherty (Courant Letters, August 7) thinks that the general public who don’t own dogs should fund, through their council tax, the supply of more bins for dog owners to get rid of their unwanted bags of waste.
