IF Falmouth RFC were to re-locate, the recreation ground could be offered to Tesco to build a superstore with the proviso they build two landscaped car parks, one for themselves, the other for the town. The Tesco Metro building would then become vacant and could then revert to what it was before, the Odeon Cinema.

Of course I, and I suspect, the rest of the town would like to see the cinema built as part of the Discovery Quay project, as originally planned, but it appears Carrick's word is no longer their bond. It also appears that the people fighting Falmouth's corner have little clout in these matters. Guess it's all down to us, the people of Falmouth.

As the Rev Stephen Tudgey suggested, write to Carrick, bombard them with letters, pin the planning department to their desks, break them till they're nervous wrecks. Remember, they're supposed to be working for us! Think of it, 20-odd thousand letters! With luck they'll all resign and we can get on and build our cinema, car park, etc. Tony Jago, Lister Street, Falmouth

AS regards the demise of our old lovely cinemas - The Odeon and The Grand - Falmouth has never been quite the same. Surely it's plain to see that when we aim to attract tourists and families to spend their holidays in our town, they need to know that when it rains there will be a local cinema to provide suitable family entertainment.

It's almost unbelievable that a holiday town such as ours should not have its own cinema. Some of us do object strongly to having to constantly assist Truro in generating more wealth by patronising their cinema complex. However, what I have written is not new and has been repeated over and over again over the past years, but still the end result is the same.

One wonders what on earth more can be done to achieve the obvious. The first important requirement of course is for the planners to have the will to allow us a cinema. They already have the power!
