Dear Editor,
Re: “News does its job for community,” Letters, March 22.
The Richmond News is a great communication tool for all the communities in Richmond.
I don’t think having a bulletin board set up for each neighbourhood could do a better job in facilitating an understanding of each other than reading the local newspaper.
I’ve gone from being baffled by certain arguments and stories to writing letters and participating in the discussion.
There are just so many things packed in the paper.
You’d miss out many things if you just breezed through the articles and ads.
One of the best things I have learned from the paper’s ads is that the city has a website and they have a request/report a problem service. It is very easy to use.
You could request to have your street potholes mended, extra street lighting installed and numerous other things.
You could also file a complaint about anything and they usually respond within two or three days.
