Playing field home to bad behaviour
I suggest Mr Brian Fenton has the wrong idea about the children, as he calls them, causing mayhem on the Balderton playing field (Playing Field Patrols Called Into Question, News Views, August 27).

As a daily user of this fine facility I see the litter, mess and vodka bottles that these so-called children repeatedly leave behind, even including, I am disgusted to say, human excrement, not counting the damage done to the trees and shrubs.

So it is not hearsay as Mr Fenton alleges.

Regarding the suggestion that the centre should be used as a youth club, the failure of the youth bus in the village proved that it would be a waste of time.

New day, new look
Sport is now featured on the Advertiser’s back page, an overdue recognition of the leisure segment in all our lives.

Headlines over news stories are to have their lettering in mainly small ‘lower case’ type. Capitals are shunned. Research has shown that capital letters are more difficult to read.

White space has a new emphasis to enliven lay-outs while pictures, said to be worth a thousand words, are given prominence. Careful use of colour is an added tool for enhancing page treatment.

Today’s changes are designed to help readers and bring greater emphasis to the reporting of happenings in our community.
