FEBRUARY 2012
It might seem that this space has become the “knock Bromsgrove District Council” column. We don’t mean to, of course, but there seems to be such a disconnect between what we, the people who pay for the council’s services, want and what we get.

Regarding “Village homes surprise” (The Village December 2011/January 2012), perhaps this now allows Bromsgrove District Council to pass any plan that comes along for site at the corner of Old Rectory Lane on the other side of the Birmingham Road, Alvechurch.

I am writing to congratulate and thank you for such a wonderful magazine. We are so fortunate to receive such an excellent publication – and for free, too!
Pinch-point calming winds up motorists

Dare I speak the truth about the traffic pinch-points in Alvechurch?
Who says The Oakalls doesn’t want a shop?

Sir – I am writing in response to the letter in October’s Village magazine entitles “Who says The Oakalls wants a shop”?

Sir – I was pleased to read in November’s Village that another local resident has raised concerns about the proposed car park opposite Tesco in Marlbrook.

Sir – This morning my father, who is 79, was almost barged off his bike on a cycle track through the Oakalls on his morning journey to the newsagent to fetch his paper.

Sir – What a pity that Alvechurch residents so keen to be linked to Bromsgrove do not shop there.

Sir – Thank you for including the Barnt Green Winter Art Exhibition in your What’s On section.

Sir – I would just like to say what a great edition of The Village I have just read. I’ve picked it up several times and find it so interesting; you have covered everything.

Sir – I am a young member of the Alvechurch community and until now I have been attending the youth club, ever since it first started at the Social Club (where I preferred it).

Sir – On November 8, Bromsgrove District Council’s Planning Committee, with minimal debate, and not a single reference to the objections of those who so recently elected them, voted to sacrifice yet more of Alvechurch to developers.

Sir – I was quite concerned on reading about the poor lady who slipped and in doing so cut her hand on barbed wire while using the country footpath from the Meadows to Old Rectory Lane, Alvechurch (Village Views, November 2011).

DECEMBER 2011
What should we expect from our county councillors? We ask because the member representing Alvechurch at Worcester recently felt the need to defend her limited appearances at Alvechurch Parish Council’s monthly meetings.

NOVEMBER 2011
At last the menace of motorists speeding through our villages appears to have come to the notice of those who can do something about it.

As a resident of Old Rectory Lane, Alvechurch, and a bed and breakfast proprietor, I am writing to express my serious concerns over the footpath that runs from Old Rectory Lane into The Meadows.

In answer to your questions:
Should Alvechurch become part of Redditch? NO

In the October edition of The Village you give an upbeat account of plans to restore The Uplands. According to your source “many people welcomed the proposals”.

Before we came to live here 30 years ago I had never come across such parochial snobbery as exists in this area, so well illustrated in the last issue of The Village.

Your report that using a piece of land to provide parking in Linehouse Lane, Marlbrook, to ease the dangerous parking outside Tesco is, I regret, a waste of money, whether it be council tax payers or Tesco who pay for the work.

OCTOBER 2011
Crime has dropped to remarkably low levels across Alvechurch parish, according to police reports. And this is at a time when we might expect to see more trouble as economic conditions deteriorate. So what’s going on?

Conservatives are still failing to conserve

The current controversy and confusion caused by this Government’s proposals to give free rein to the less principled elements of the construction industry is highly undemocratic, and grossly unfair to those currently involved with planning issues.
This will make trains reliable
Posted on September 15 2011 at 1:59:12 0 comments
Regarding the letter in the September issue of The Village, “Reliable trains the priority”, the problem with the Redditch branch is that it is a siding without passing opportunities between Barnt Green and Redditch and as it takes more than 20 minutes to do this trip, delays are common on a 30-minute interval service.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to Mary and The Village magazine.

I was reading Sarah Rees`s article titled “Oakalls’ Park-Land” (The Village, September 2011) which was extremely glowing in regards to this park. I was wondering if she visited this same park after dark?
Who says The Oakalls wants a shop?

I am writing in response to your article entitled “People 3000: Shops 0” (The Village July/August 2011).
