Please note Newton News does not accept anonymous letters.
Readers may write and request their name and address be omitted, but must include it in the letter to the editor as a gesture of good faith.
We understand there are reasons why people do not want their details printed and we are happy to omit them on request.
We are willing to respect a correspondent’s request for anonymity, but must still know who the correspondent is so that they can confirm the credibility of the letter and also know who may be liable if, for example, the letter subsequently proved to be illegal or defamatory.
