Following a series of high-profile Government resignations over defence spending, how safe do you feel? Former Defence Secretary John Healey said that military funding is "well short" of what's needed. Do you use a Blue Badge to park? Three people in Rhondda Cynon Taf have been fined for misusing them. Two of them were using the badges of people who had passed away. The third badge was found to be fake. What do you make of people who abuse the Blue Badge system? The Red Arrows will fly with fewer aircraft for most of their upcoming displays. This is to preserve the ageing fleet of Hawk T1s - in use since 1980 - with the fleet due to be retired in 2030. We'd like to know if you still love to watch the RAF's famous aerobatics team in action - and why that is. Call or WhatsApp 03700 100 110 or Text 8 10 12. Be part of the nation's conversation.
