Editor: I propose Banff town council delay the implementation of paid parking. I believe an eco-parking initiative would help the Town.

Editor: For years we have had a robust community recycling program in place and now we also have a food waste composting program. We have a Climate Action Plan, a long-term strategy to combat global warming and the resulting climate change.

Editor: Many thanks to the Outlook production team for their work on the ‘Citizens’ Guide to the Three Sisters Corridors’ on page 2 of last week’s edition. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify one point.
