Knife crimes in this country are on the increase, especially in London, but knife crime figures have also doubled in Hampshire in the last five years. Perhaps our society is more violent than it ever was. Certainly cuts to youth services mean young people no longer have premises on their immediate doorstep that they can go to.

About a week ago the first house martins began to migrate northwards from their wintering grounds in western Africa.

Between now and early March they will make their way back to the Mediterranean and by early April will be back with us in the UK.

READER LETTER: Why did they axe the Red Cross?

I am glad that the Red Cross has seen fit to reinstate its mobility aids loans service in Romsey, if only for two hours a week. As this will operate from the same room in the Red Cross centre, presumably with paid staff, I fail to see why they axed the original service, which was available daily and staffed by volunteers. Not only have good volunteers been lost but no savings have apparently been made.
