Mike wrote on May 5th to the Wilts and Glos Standard "News that people in the north of Wiltshire will again be able to go inside the Malmesbury and Cricklade police stations (Wilts and Glos Standard, 1 May) is very welcome.

Mike writes to the Wilts Gazette about need for public consultation on gypsy sites
Mike wrote on 5th May "The situation surrounding the gypsies living in Minety is clearly a very delicate one. The excellent letter from Paul Venton in last week's Gazette and Herald acknowledged that the gypsies must be involved in finding an alternative site and that Conservative-run North Wiltshire District Council was wrong in the way it sought to rush through a decision. Unfortunately, also in last week's edition was a column from James Gray MP in which he compared gypsies to red-headed Scotsmen and suggested that the planning process should not accommodate their desire to live together as a group. Surely what is needed from the area's MP are considered and thoughtful comments rather than the rash and divisive ones written by Mr Gray.
