Putting pen to paper
Great Linford Platform
Dear Editor, Please can you say a huge thank you on my behalf to Peter Arnold and Geoff Parker who have been working steadily and brilliantly on transforming the old platform at Great Linford on the railway walk redway. They are always cheerful and enthusiastic and always say hello when I pass on my bicycle on the way to work. They have achieved a wonderful result with some lovely planting and tidying, their work looks amazing. Regards, Mark Pawson.
Westlands
Dear Editor, How much longer is Westlands going to be allowed to have the appearance of a “”Dosshouse” Is this it’s future? Concerned - Resident of Olney (Name and Address supplied)
A Lonely Duck
Dear Editor, Does anyone know where my friend is? On Friday 21st August I was standing alongside him, outside The Boutique on Olney High Street, waiting patiently to be re-homed. I must have turned my back for a moment because when I looked for him he had gone. Maybe he had someone’s help. I don’t know. What I do know is that I do miss him, not least because we were hoping to be friends for life.
So, if you know where he is it would be nice if he could be returned so that he could join me in my new home.
Thank you, A Lonely Duck.
