The statement in the third paragraph that "It is desirable that people over 60 should not drive, since they are more likely to cause accidents because of their advanced age" is an affront to any motorist.
I am 67, but I use my bus pass whenever I can. I have also passed my advanced driving test.
There are many people over 60 who have also passed this test. To state that we should give up our licences at 60 beggars belief.
I wonder if your correspondent is a "centre-lane hogger" on the motorway. This type of 'animal' is the type that has no regard for other road users and, in some cases, is the cause of accidents.
I suggest that your correspondent contacts the local Institute of Advanced Motorists group and arranges for some training drives to see how this can improve a person's driving.

Leigh's history is being eroded
It saddens me to think the cancerous tentacles of Wigan Planning Committee have voted to take away our last standing memory of the past.
The town of Leigh was a thriving community until we became devoured by Wigan Metro.
The Theatre Royal in Lord Street, later the Casino, then Rubens, has gone, to be replaced with the most monstrous flats.
In terms of industry, we had Bickershaw, Parsonage and Bedford Collieries, cotton mills such as Tunnicliffes, Bedford, Butts Mill, Hayes Mill, Victoria Street, BICC, Sutcliffe and Speakman.
All are gone now and Leigh is only a shadow of what it used to be; now the only reminder of my past is about to go. They say it is for a super school; don't believe it.
I can see the money signs flashing before their eyes, it will be earmarked for another supermarket.
Children being displaced doesn't bother them at all as long as they get their bank balance swollen.
Born and bred in Leigh, I can see our towns' name being slowly eroded and Wigan trying to rub its memory out.

Health service loss will be great blow
Regarding 'Pledge to keep jobs at centre' (Evening Post, July 11) I would like to give my personal point of view on the valuable service Tunstall House provides.
Before attending, I'd been ill for many years. I have been attending the clubhouse for six years and since then my life has changed.
The skills I have learnt have given me the confidence to move on in my life. I have gained a certified award in basic food hygiene, I have completed a leadership course at Liverpool John Moores University and become a member of People's Voice, which is a voice in the community for people with enduring mental health problems.
Through this I represented a mental health forum at a mental health conference in Denver, USA.
With support from both staff and members, we donated over £2,000 to local causes and raised over £1,000 for national charities in the last three years.
The building will not be closing, but the Mental Health Service which is situated there will be.
Tunstall House gives people dignity, self-respect and the confidence to learn new skills and to integrate back into society.
All this will be a loss to the community if closure is allowed.
Thomas Charnock, Member of Tunstall House, Pemberton
