I wish to raise a concern with the Minister of Home Affairs, Commissioner of Police, Traffic Chief and the nation as a whole.
Dear Editor,
The Demerara Harbour Bridge has issued a notice that from April 29 to May 5 2012 the bridge would be operating with a single-lane.

Dear Editor,
It is good income tax relief is being given to twenty-one thousand employees, mostly those earning in excess of the public sector minimum salary, but what about those employees already exempted from income tax by virtue of their depressed wages, such as security guards, domestics, waitresses, shop assistants, pump attendants et al, who barely earn enough to cope with the continuous increase in the cost of living.

Dear Editor,
With respect to the Industry main road between Greater Georgetown and the East Coast which was recently thinly resurfaced with bitumen, though I am grateful for the slight improvement, I am peeved that it was not done to the full satisfaction of the several thousand local residents, taxpayers, pedestrians and drivers who use it at all hours of the day and night.

Dear Editor,
If you wish to retain the readership of the older generation — even those who only skim – you need to publish in proper English.
Dear Editor,
The Trinidad & Tobago-based consulting group continues, unfortunately, to befuddle Guyanese readers of Stabroek Business (‘Performance management practices: It’s not an HR “thing,”‘ April 20) with their one-size-fits-all generic solutions to practical management issues that must be contextualized, lest we do more harm than good by any such generalized, text-book approach.
