YOUR SAY: Solar energy targets come at a cost

A prime example of `sacrificing acres of pristine land for solar installations' is the Jindera, Walla and Culcairn solar projects approved by NSW government to meet energy targets.

Altogether, the original proposal uses 5900 acres of very productive farming land, 1,990,500 solar panels which can`t be recycled, 190 paddock trees removed (some are hundreds of years old) and 31.85 hectares of native vegetation removed

Beautiful ecosystems devastated.

Let`s hope the Glenellen Solar Project, 864 acres prime land, 81 paddock trees and 11.4 hectares, is not approved as well.

The effect on nearby landholders is immense.

Yes, there have to be alternative ways!

My neighbour surprised me on Sunday with a plate of freshly baked blueberry muffins.

Yummy

Just the remedy for COVID lockdown fatigue.

It was unexpected, and for me, like a shard of light in the dark cavern which is lockdown.

Good neighbours are gold and good cooking is a bonus.

Thanks Kellie

To the person who called the police on my four-year-old grandson for riding his 50cc motorbike at 11am on the property where he lives in Norris Park, thanks.

The machine makes less noise than a lawn mower or wiper snipper and has the throttle controlled as he has a vision impairment and a balance problem.

The motor bike helps him with both and also his confidence.

So I say to you again,

Thanks you have just put a four year old boy further back with his development,

I really hope you are very pleased with yourself.

The kid is heartbroken.

I was sorry to hear that receptionists at vaccine centres are dealing with rude and abusive clients.

I have not been rude to a receptionist, but I have certainly been tempted after being turned away with a blank refusal to help me obtain a Pfizer vaccine.

Maybe some people are naturally rude, but I suspect that the majority are frustrated and anxious because they cannot get the information they need.

Finally at a new clinic I was told by the nurse/receptionist the steps I would have to take to secure a vaccine.

Perhaps some of the other clinics could give their receptionists information to help clients, or refer them to a senior member of the practice.

However, a few days ago you published my letter complaining of the difficulty of accessing Pfizer.

A friend saw it and directed me to a pop-up clinic where I received my first vaccine this week, with the second one booked in.

So thank you Border Mail, you are providing an invaluable service to the community.
