Show support

11:00am Sunday 19th May 2013

As a former chairman of Save Our Green Open Spaces (SOGOS) I am dismayed to hear that the planning applications may now be passed for over 750 houses to be built on Yew Tree Hill, following the granting of applications at Copcut Lane (740), Harrison Park (64), Hanbury Road (23) and the applications at Blake Avenue (28) and Tagwell Road (103). This flies in the face of the local community’s wishes and the sustainable development of Droitwich as a town.

It's unsavoury

1:00pm Saturday 4th May 2013

PEDESTRIANS are being re-routed down the rather unsavoury Clegg’s Entry during the renovation of Bromsgrove High Street – could something be done about removing the graffiti off the walls and clearing the ground of urine?
