POOR car parking in various places has spurred people to write in this week, and there’s criticism over election turnout.

Following stories appearing in the Comet, some readers are concerned at parking problems in Hitchin’s Hollow Lane and Stevenage’s Lister Hospital respectively.

There’s also concerns over a by-election, which attracted just a 17 per cent turnout, from one of the candidates.

The Letchworth Gate safety debate is still going on, several weeks after one reader brought it up.

It’s not all doom and gloom, with several readers compelled to write in this week to thank others for their kindness.
