Your article (Car park to cafe bar: how the Really Local Group is renewing the UK’s derelict spaces, 12 May) quotes an Ealing resident as saying: “If we want to go and see a film we have to go to Westfield.” This is incorrect. The Act One Cinema, a community-run cinema on the site of the old Passmore Edwards library on Acton High Street, west London, opened in 2021 thanks to a campaign by Acton residents. Visitors are assured of a warm welcome.

• Jonathan Hauxwell may have enjoyed marmalade with baked beans or with cheddar (Letters, 13 May) , but would he have enjoyed it in an omelette, as cooked by my German landlady at my student digs in Portsmouth in the early 1970s? Another of her favourite omelette fillings was tinned peaches.
