SIR - I was so pleased to read that the people of Bierley now have their own much longed for Pharmacy.

Their journey without a car to a Medical Centre is hazardous to say the least and so it was with real pleasure that I read that this service had opened for them.

Just over two years ago we in Tyersal, after many months of trying, were delighted when a much needed pharmacy opened for us. The difference it has made is unbelievable.

We have organised chiropody sessions there and had the flu jab sessions there for two years now. I wish the people of Bierley every success with this venture and hope they find it a great benefit .

Jean E Bland, Sandygate Terrace, Tyersal
