I’m a long-term Tottenham resident and lifelong Spurs fan living just a few minutes’ walk from the stadium. There is no need to waste public money on renaming White Hart Lane rail station as Tottenham Hotspur (Report, 18 March). Spurs are known for playing at “The Lane”. The effort by the current owners of Spurs to get the name changed is another attempt by corporate interests to makeover and rebrand Tottenham. It is a vibrant multicultural working-class area with a strong sense of community. Neoliberalism can’t stand that.

• The heart-warming photograph (Front page, 18 March) of Jacinda Ardern hugging a worshipper at a Wellington mosque made me wonder how our own prime minister, Theresa May, would have responded to such a tragic event as the Christchurch killings. Then I remembered the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower fire, and I got my answer.

• Michael Cunningham (Letters, 16 March) opines that the best thing about having a car is the access that it gives to country walking. We feel that far better walking exists for those who use public transport to delight in linear rambles; they no longer have to spend their lives walking round in circles to get back to a car.

• Carl Arntzen states “electricity for solutions such as heat pumps needs to come from somewhere” (Letters, 12 March). What is wrong with making it law for all new-build houses to have solar panels on their roofs with battery storage? No need for any sort of gas then.

• Enough of the heartrending. Why no happy breakup songs? (Top 10 breakup songs, G2, 15 March). I suggest the glorious No Man’s Mama from the 1920s. Try the 2012 recording by the Carolina Chocolate Drops.

• Jacques Brel’s Ne Me Quitte Pas is the ultimate breakup song for remainers.
