• SHOCK, horror; I have read the latest CNJ from cover to cover and found no letter from Mick Farrant.

Week after week there is a penetrating letter from him. But this time, no missive from Mick, the heroic letter writer had taken a week off.

I used to be a neighbour. Having moved I have not talked to him for years, although the CNJ keeps me in weekly contact with him.

May he continue his letters keeping our council to the straight and narrow.
