Businesses, particularly those in the hospitality, food and accommodation sector have been hardest hit with the triple whammy of drought, bushfire and now the COVID-19 pandemic.

Revenues have dried up dramatically this year, so having the Melbourne-based NRL club here will drive some much-needed income for this sector and the city.

Council's decision to ban the use of Greenfield Park was rather short-sighted given we will likely see rules relaxed over coming weeks with regard to sporting grounds, pubs and clubs, so it is likely other sporting clubs will be able to commence training soon in any case.

In spring we suffer from being swooped by magpies and collectively heave a sigh of relief at the end of the season. Sadly, there is no end to the season of being swooped by cyclists.

Silently they approach from behind and then swoop on the unsuspecting pedestrian; too close, generally travelling too fast and leaving their target with a racing heart and unkind thoughts of the parentage of the attacker.

The problem is exacerbated by these times when the numbers of both pedestrians and cyclists have swollen as we exercise.

The NSW government prides itself on caring for cyclists by mandating the wearing of helmets, Gladys, how about thinking of the well-being of the non-cycling populus by mandating the fitting of bells or the like to all cycles and a stiff penalty for riders who fail to use them?

Well at least one of your correspondents (Monday, May 4) got it right. Angus Macneil from Rand's call for the Bradfield Plan to be revisited is right on the money.

Not only would implementing Bradfield's plan solve many of our water problems but it would also be a useful infrastructure project to kick start our economy when the current pandemic is over.

One cannot say the same for the incoherence of Father McLeod-Miller's comments about the possible relocation of the Melbourne Storm to Albury. Many in Albury are appalled that again the pig-tailed padre is venturing into areas where he has no expertise. To suggest that somehow the carefully planned and managed relocation would plunge all of Albury into a health crisis is irresponsible nonsense.

The reference to the Cancer Centre is a total non sequitur. While the reference to corruption is also nonsense with absolutely no evidence to support it. Corruption by whom?

Maybe he can use his influence to make sure his Church's Anglicare doesn't come to Albury, one of their homes has had 14 people die. So that's Anglicare 14 - NRL nil.
