If Joel Fitzgibbon really cares about the people who work directly in the coal industry, he would be pushing for the federal government to begin planning so that coal workers do not find themselves out of work in the years ahead (Letters, February 19).

CARLISLE S food bank is to move to a new location in order to cope with increased demand. As of February 12, the service will no longer operate from its current home at Nisi Prius. Instead, it will be located at Tower Court on West Tower Street, at the former Edenside Carpets store. It is hoped the move to the new premises will allow the team, which is mostly made up of volunteers, to help more people in need across the city. Due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, the food bank is seeing more and more people in need of its services.
