In a fix about road junction

I WAS interested to read the letter 'Why we fixed road junction', (Observer, August 5). The headline suggests the problems associated with the junction where George V Avenue, Headstone Lane and Pinner Road all converge have now been resolved. This is certainly not the case.Read

Insult to Falklanders

I WAS rather disturbed to read the details accompanying the council electoral form which I received recently.Read

Let residents have their say

I'M NOT convinced Observer readers would welcome the local government finance rant from Councillor Barry Macleod-Cullinane (Observer letters, August 19) that exposes a rather inflated sense of his party's track record in Harrow.Read

Youtube can train your dog

MORE than 70 per cent of dogs arriving at Dogs Trust rehoming centres have received no basic training such as 'sit', 'walking on the lead' and 'retrieve'. With more than 16,000 stray and abandoned dogs arriving at our centres each year, this leaves a huge task for the charity's 24 training and behaviour advisers.Read

Victory over barbarism

AS BOTH present and past Headstone North councillors, we were interested to read your article on the junction of George V Avenue and Headstone Lane ('School unites in road safety call,' Observer, July 22).Read
