'Letters to the Editor'

Edinburgh

Dear Editor, what a surprise turn out for the Referendum on Congestion Charges in Edinburgh. 74% of the votes cast were a 'NO' vote. Is is heartening to acknowledge the fact that Edinburgh still has sensible people living there. The congestion problem is still not resolved, and in my opinion, it will not be, until someone authorises the reversal of the traffic control systems imposed over the last decade. All the one way street systems, the removal of all the road bumps, the demise of bus lanes and the introduction of adequate, proper and reasonably priced car parking areas are only the tip of the ice-berg. As most of Fife's dwellers now work in Edinburgh there is more reason to introduce ferries from various areas along the Fife coast to Leith or Granton. Or is that too simple a solution. Mr McFinnie, Scotland

Call centre
Dear Editor, some months ago you published a letter complaining about call centre services and the frustrating efforts callers encounter before being listened to by the call centre staff, well, I have resolved the problem. When you first make that telephone call to the centre do not hit any of the numbered buttons offered by the electronic voice system, just wait for a short time and you will be greeted by 'you appear to be having trouble choosing a service, we will now pass you on to an operator to deal with your call'. Mr James McDuff,Scotland
Easter Celebrations Dear Editor, as Easter Sunday tends to fall in different months each year, I thought I would drop you a note to remind everyone that Easter Sunday is on 27th March this year. Happy Easter. Mrs Jacqueline Horne, Scotland
