| Keep your eyes open on railway | | 10:04am Friday 9th May 2008 | | Every year we carry stories of attacks on trains or of obstacles being placed on railway lines. It seems that every year, too, we report on campaigns designed to catch or deter those responsible. Yet still the criminal activity continues. |
| It’s wise to err on side of caution | | 8:28am Thursday 8th May 2008 | | The Home Secretary's decision to defy the Government's expert advisors and toughen up the cannabis laws is a U-turn that clearly has not been undertaken lightly. It was, after all, one of Jacqui Smith's Labour predecessors, David Blunkett, who in 2004 decided to downgrade cannabis to Class C so the police could concentrate their resources on offences involving "harder" drugs like cocaine and heroin. |
| Make park a place to be proud of | | 8:17am Wednesday 7th May 2008 | | Roberts Park at Saltaire is ideally situated to be a tremendous asset to the district, with the River Aire flowing sedately past to the south and the woodland of Shipley Glen as its backdrop. Its paved avenues, pavilions, shrubberies and flower beds, its cricket pitch and grassy play area must, at one time, have reflected the pride of the village on the other side of the river and the status of the mill's owner. |
| Vision that deserves to succeed | | 6:26am Monday 5th May 2008 | | Bradford and district has a proud history of manufacturing and there are those who are still market leaders in traditional businesses such as textiles, for example. |
| Hospitals must do all they can | | 4:20pm Monday 28th April 2008 | | The story of Razvana Ali and her baby daughter, Marwha, who both became infected with MRSA, raises serious concerns. The very mention of the so-called superbug will worry those who have loved ones in hospitals or who are patients themselves. |
| Half-mast excuse is half-baked | | 2:25pm Monday 28th April 2008 | | Health and safety' seems to be a catch-all excuse these days when decisions prove unpopular and difficult to explain. |
| Reinforce the safety message | | 8:36am Friday 25th April 2008 | | Given the emphasis placed on health and safety issues in our modern world, it could reasonably be expected that the number of fatal accidents in the workplace would be reducing steadily. Unfortunately, though, the trend seems to be in the opposite direction. |
| Now it’s time to dig deep again | | 8:19am Thursday 24th April 2008 | | Telegraph & Argus readers can be justifiably proud of what you achieved when, ten years ago, you dug deep, worked hard and raised the money needed to provide Bradford Royal Infirmary with its first-ever Magnetic Resonance Imagining machine (better known as an MRI scanner). |
| Good news we've been waiting for | | 8:16am Wednesday 23rd April 2008 | | Hospital waiting times have been a bugbear for many years. The last thing people who are feeling ill, are in pain, or are worried about what might be wrong with them need is to be stuck on a waiting list for many months to see a consultant and then on another for an equally long time before they can be treated. |
| Parents must value education | | 8:26am Tuesday 22nd April 2008 | | Thanks to the vision and campaigning zeal of far-sighted Victorians, not least Bradford's own W E Forster, every child in this country has for well over a century had the right to a free education. It has enabled millions to rise above their humble beginnings, fulfil their potential and go on to make significant contributions to society. |
