NUMEROUS critical comments regarding the Nato summit in South Wales have been included in the Argus letters pages. Any benefits and true costs remain to be judged.

To those in the police and other services, on behalf of those who cannot be bothered and those who think it has been a waste of time and an inconvenience, I say “thank you” for your efforts to keep us safe. Much of the time spent must have been boring, but what could have happened had you not been there? To those who read the columns in local newspapers — please pass this on.
