Jo Roberts from Porthmadog 23:21:39 30 April 2008
Instead of looking for someone to blame why don't shops just adapt. We do live in a tourist area and we should make the most of it and try to bring as much money into the local economy by catering for this market! At the moment the main tourist money trap is Tesco and Asda. Instead of trying to compete with the supermakets shopkeepers shoud be selling unique local produce, good quiality crafts made with sustainable materials. Good local food ??? Instead we have shopskeepers complaining.. if you had something good to sell don't you think people would buy it?

  • IT may surprise your correspondent I Owen that I am in agreement with most of the sentiments expressed in the letter “Listen to Cofis”.
    Jul 17 2008
    I had objected most strongly to the Dock development at the outset, lobbying the politicians and planners from Caernarfon to Cardiff, but to no avail. more

    Thank you for show success
    Jul 17 2008
    ON behalf of the management team of the North Wales Agricultural Society, I would like to thank everyone who supported our annual show at Wern Ddu Fields, Bethel Road, Caernarfon, on Saturday, July 5. more

    Labour voters have lost faith
    Jul 10 2008
    I WAS going to write on an entirely different topic until I read “Old and new must bond” and “Key Points” (Herald, July 3). more

    Maes will be the envy of all
    Jul 3 2008
    I DESPAIR at the attitude expressed by some of your recent correspondents towards the town centre redevelopment, some even advocating a return to the old Caernarfon! more

    I VERY much echo the words of Paula Morris-Jones (Herald, June 26). Unlike her, I merely visit Caernarfon as a shopper but, alas, very rarely these days.
    Jul 3 2008
    The new road system is confusing, unfriendly and expensive. I used to be able to find somewhere to park for the odd hour or so, free, but now, no chance. more

    Fined for parking in front of home
    Jun 26 2008
    I’M sure people are tired of having to listen to more complaints about Gwynedd Council but, unfortunately, the council does not do itself any favours. more

    Help families
    Jun 26 2008
    DID you know that 20% of children will have additional learning needs at some point in their lives? more

    I READ your report last week that the late Cynan’s birthplace, Liverpool House, Pwllheli, is to be placed on sale by Gwynedd Council.
    Jun 26 2008
    I was amused to find myself referred to as “Robyn Léwis, former archbishop”. more

    MAY I take this opportunity to congratulate Robert Wright on his MBE, a well-deserved award for an individual who is willing to give of his time for others.
    Jun 19 2008
    I’ve known Robert since we were kids, and attending Penlleniau school. His devotion to the RNLI has been high, and his keenness to show and help others along the way. more

    Local goods are on sale ... locally!
    Jun 19 2008
    I WAS utterly taken aback to read the letter from RO Morris, of Cilgwyn, which appeared in the Herald last Thursday. more

    £2.5m cash aid has made town worse!
    Jun 19 2008
    I WAS fortunate to start working in Caernarfon in October, 2003, and since that time I have as an “English outsider” learned to love the town and its people. Despite my lack of Welsh, I have been accepted and welcomed by everyone. more

    SOMEWHAT unusually for a lad growing up on the western side of Caernarfon in the 1930s I was a choirboy at distant Christ Church, the English church next door to the town’s railway station and now a children’s play centre.
    Jun 12 2008
    I’d started off in the Llanbeblig church choir but had been recruited for Christ Church because I had a fairly good voice. more

    I LIVE in Dinas Dinlle with my wife and three daughters, and we walk and cycle the length and width of the beach.
    Jun 12 2008
    We pass the so called picnic area on the front daily and notice with disgust that the grass is a metre high. All we could see of the visitors eating their food were their heads, and my six-year-old daughter nearly got lost in there. more

    Hospital politics
    Jun 12 2008
    I WOULD like to thank Martin Eaglestone for kindly welcoming me to the Letters page (Herald, June 5). more

    Vindicated over school closure row
    Jun 12 2008
    WITHOUT sounding unduly self-righteous isn’t vindication a wonderful thing. more

    Traffic chaos
    Jun 5 2008
    KINDLY permit a few observations by a long-standing ratepayer as regards changes and so-called improvements in and out of town in Caernarfon. more

    County’s shameful acts against town’s heritage
    Jun 5 2008
    MAY I air a few views and concerns? The latest “event” of cutting down a much-adored chestnut tree seems to be one of a number of questionable incidents in Caernarfon over the years. more

    I WAS very disappointed by Ian Grundy’s attitude as reported in last week’s article about Pwllheli Sunday Market.
    Jun 5 2008
    This market has been a long time coming and, now we have it, it behoves us all to be positive and do whatever is necessary to make it a success. more

    Attack is wrong
    Jun 5 2008
    THE letter from Cllr Aeron Jones has to be answered, as his attack on Dafydd Iwan is way off the mark. more

    For good of the people?
    Jun 5 2008
    IT was the very first day of the new county council. We were all assembled at the council chamber and we in Llais Gwynedd, the new party, were ready and willing to roll up our sleeves and work and co-operate with all the other councillors, new and old, “for the good of all the people of Gwynedd”. more
