Readers in Horsham and surrounding areas respond on local finances and development schemes. Letters discuss proposed town works, unemployment, mortgage impact, sewers and public debt, with concerns about ratepayers and future protests.
A Horsham Times letter protests the poor road two miles south of Ur Gill’s residence hindering motor traffic and asks why the contractor did not improve the spot in summer. The letter also notes state plans to raise school fees may harm post primary education, especially in rural areas, risking school closures and forced attendance at overcrowded primaries.
A review by Mr Goodie of the Employment Council cites strong forest improvements under the relief scheme. Ninety percent of trees planted at Creswick’s Lady Peacock plantation struck, with other sites at Daylesford and Macedon showing evident thinning and worker satisfaction. The Forests Commission notes good value for funds and hopes for additional £200,000 extension aid.
