BARRY VAUGHAN, of Churchill Court, Victoria Road, Dartmouth, writes: Thank you very much for printing the letter about the library shutdown possibility – it was both thoughtful and good of you. Somebody needs to air another interpretation of who owns what, why and what for. Yet I still wonder how many the message reaches, and within that number, who will drive resistance through to stop this really pathetic 'sad sack' mentality of council employees, in their twisted solutions to arbitrary governmental proclamations. I notice this all the time, it's a case of the close everything used by the vulnerable or needy down. Then, all of a sudden, a really massive millions of pounds capital project is announced, dwarfing all the scrooge-like solemn incantations to one and all threatening withdrawal of multiple services. I'm sick of it – it is like a ritual. l Display sells: I am still far from content with the position and consequential take-up of the Dartmouth Chronicle – I'm plotting radial offensives. The only shop reflecting a responsible behaviour is Marks and Spencers. Definition of 'responsible behaviour' – displaying at least some of the weekly stipend at near eye level, preferably at some prepared dedicated spot. l Boatfloat: It looks as though Dartmouth is going to endure the quite penetrating stink of foul mud. Visitors don't have 'boat floats' in their section of industrialised concrete jungles – which is why they flock down here. It still seems to be just too much for Dartmouth boat owners to clean up their basin as well as their boats – visitors expect the postcard colour display when they see it in the raw. But they smell the raw sewage and do a recount on the same bits of jettisoned bric-a-brac clinging like grim death to the mud. It is not the town council's fault – it already has printed conditions for boat users. In the main harbour in the Isle of Man, there is or was a cute tradition for a boy to look after someone's boat for a small fee and either have use of the boat (if small) or enjoy regular fishing trips as crew. All the boats were clean and sweet smelling – no green rainwater in any. But the mud has to go first, eh? l Some more ideas: With a pole-count of only about four bus stop positions to serve an entire well established town, then suspect a deeply embedded anti-transport conspiracy. Some wild thoughts could be given to the following: 1. Ban all buses; except one 90 which acts as shuttle to new bus station near the recycling centre. 2. Infest the town with publically-owned large electric four-wheeled scooters – for all. 3. Install trams – everywhere. 4. Lay out a narrow gauge railway, with branches north around to Townstal and Castle areas. 5 Install at least one 'aerial tramway' – as the Swiss call their mountain cable cars – possibly from Bayard's Cove; also one across the Dart at Greenway capable of carrying two cars. 6. Provide a boat from Bayard's Cove to the Higher Ferry every 10 mins in the summer season and during events. 7. Use pony/donkey and traps to attract the young and visitors. 8. Put coloured bulbs in lights. 9. Provide a four-coach 'road train' to wander about narrow bits. 10. Provide two more sheltered seating cabins.
