St Mary Street scheme needs explaining

CAN anyone tell me what Cardiff city council is playing at in St Mary Street? Read

Castle cannot be free to all

FOLLOWING Martin Shaw’s comments on Monday (Viewpoints, June 16), I feel I must set the record straight on the issue of free entry to Cardiff Castle. Read

Club offering good value

IN reply to G Boswell’s letter on June 18, and trying not to sound like a apologist for the Glamorgan chairman, I would like to make a few comments. Read

Walk through Cardiff if you want to hear Welsh spoken

Straight to the point

I HAVE thumbed through the pages of the South Wales Echo for about 40 years now – even during my time in the army – and in that time I have rarely come across one-sided reports. Read

I’m proud of my language

Leave our four-legged friends alone

I HAVE always had respect for Bill Julian as a sensible writer and usually found his letters interesting and sometimes informative. Read

Labour won’t be helped by hypocrisy
