SIR - Four 'what and why on earth' moments in last week's Herts Advertiser (June 18).
What was the busy chief executive of St Albans Arts doing spending important paid time disputing a penalty charge notice given to a contractor for parking in a loading bay five months ago (letters)? And telling us about his public-spirited altruism! Unless it was effectively a press release promoting the St Albans Festival.
Why does the unfortunate bike-crash victim chairman of Harpenden Youth Council live in Wheathampstead (report page three)?
What doesn't Pete Roberts understand about the campaigning responsibilities of a local newspaper (letters)?
The wooden footbridge at the mill in Wheathampstead is a notorious well-known trip hazard which the statutory bodies have failed to repair and make safe, despite repeated requests.
A photo and feature article and - hey presto - someone's going to pop round to sort it out.
And why was a wheelchair-confined resident of a retirement home living on the first floor (web edition, June 19)?
In the event of a fire, lifts are automatically disabled. And why in a recently-built development did the unfortunate lady have to rely on a battery-operated alarm? And where was the resident warden?
