Gate ‘approval’ is a new low

Regarding the blocked public footpath at Barnt Green’s Foxhills estate (Village View, December 2019): if an unwelcome development is “inadvertently approved” then the district council must...

Town parking fees are ‘brainless’

Every week in local newspapers there are complaints about parking in Bromsgrove – justifiably, in my opinion.

What a mess!

I live on Green Park Road, Parklands, and am both astounded and disgusted at how much dog mess there is.

Parking menace continues

It seems that some people are still more concerned about leaving room for motorists to pass than for pedestrians. 

Please take more care of our verges

You may recall my letter in March 2017, lamenting the damage caused to grass verges by vehicles – well, it is truly verging on the ridiculous now!

Sign makes us a little safer

On behalf of the Bordesley Residents Association, we would like to say a very big thank you to Andy Humphries and all at the Alvechurch Parish Council for providing Bordesley with a Vehicle Activated Sign.

. . . Is it any wonder?

Hopwood Residents Association is very concerned that Bromsgrove District Council seems still intent on issuing licences and permits that will now allow this once-rural farm to become a commercial factory, sited not 70-odd yards or so from residential properties within the Green Belt.

Credit isn’t due

In a local paper article about legal action to deter traveller encampments, Bromsgrove District Council cabinet member Kit Taylor is reported as saying: “This move not only means that our residents will be better protected, it reiterates that we will not tolerate illegal occupancy of land, anywhere.”

Level of building is absurd

I feel the level of housebuilding is quite absurd and destruction of the green belt is quite simply appalling.

Thanks to villagers for generosity

I would like to thank all local businesses who donated the wonderful array of prizes for the Alvechurch Knit & Natter Alzheimer’s Charity Raffle, and all you lovely people who have purchased tickets.
