LETTER: Keep doors shut to save energy
A few weeks ago, during a severe cold spell, I noted that nearly all the shops in Montague Street, Worthing, with the notable exception of Boots, were guilty of this profligacy.
It would seem that the government could save thousands of tons of carbon emissions by either prohibiting, or taxing, this awful waste of energy.

I have never understood how we have let this industry burgeon, when we have some of the finest drinking (tap) water in the world.
