Time to keep local elections local

3:18pm Wednesday 29th May 2013

I was disappointed that, in writing about the local elections, Mr Javid highlights three issues – the economy, welfare and immigration – as those that came up most frequently on the doorstep and goes on to make claims about what the national government is doing about them. Mr Javid, along with his government and much of the popular press, seem to have lost sight of the fact that these were local elections.

Ten-storey flats

9:00am Thursday 23rd May 2013

The person who wrote the letter in Your View on May 8 sounds very much like the politicians,councillors and developers with his opinion on where to build these horrid looking buildings in so much as you can build them where ever as long as they are not built by him.

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.
