Letters

• Spare a thought for others

  I WOULD like to give a great big thank you to all those kind motorists who last Friday, July 20, drove at high speed through the floods at Tanhouse Lane. I am sure the people whose houses were flooded really appreciated the wash that surged through their properties making the flooding worse. read more

• Night with a difference

  IF you do a feature on the floods you may wish to include the staff of Innovis and Aubrey's Farm, adjacent to Junction 2 of the M50. read more

• You're all heroes

  PLEASE mention in your paper my thanks to the superb people of Ledbury, who, in my hour of need, transformed my Friday night. read more

• Good samaritan

  PLEASE can I thank the very kind gentleman, Greg, who rescued me and our cat, when our car became stranded in a puddle (large!) in Malvern this evening. read more

• Pull together

  AS the entire region draws its breath following the appalling floods of last weekend, let us not forget how impossible it seemed beforehand. Let us not forget that it is only a month since the last inundation, and that there was a previous flood this year in January! However resilient the local people are, unless we realise the reasons for these occurrences we are sleepwalking into a nightmare. read more

• Community spirit made a special day

  WE would like to say a great big thank you to everyone who went out of their way to help to make our daughter, Penny's wedding to James Needham at St Mary's Church, Bromesberrow, happy and successful despite the ravages of the weather on Friday afternoon. read more

• Paths for people

  WITH all the torrential rain we have been having, would road users show more consideration towards pedestrians please, when they drive through puddles. read more

• Judges visit was met with smiles

  AS you reported in the Ledbury Reporter last week, on Ledbury in Bloom, the Judges are happy with return visit'. read more

• Land ideal for allotments

  I WRITE in response to Mr M Williams (Your Letters, July 6). He made several statements concerning myself that require comment. read more

• Everything went perfectly

  Thank you' is not a large enough phrase to say to the people, businesses and organisations of Upton for their support on our Heart of England judging day. They were magnificent! read more

• If it's listening why is council going ahead with this plan?

  I read with amazement the comments in last week's Ledbury Reporter by assistant cultural services manager for Herefordshire Council Mick Ligema regarding the lottery bid for Ledbury's new library. read more

• Superior quality

  I WAS pleased to read (Malvern Gazette, July 20) that the owners plan to restore the historic Holy Well and resume the water bottling operation. However, in your resume of the history of the well, I was surprised that no mention was made of J H Cuff and Company, who operated the plant at the beginning of the last century and continued to bottle the water, and to manufacture soft drinks up until the outbreak of World War Two. My late father managed the plant for much of this period and I recall that the soft drinks, presumably using pure well water, were sold in licensed premises over a wide area. read more

• Astonishing news

  The freak weather has produced some astonishing scenes; but nothing is more astonishing than the disclosure that Upton's flood barriers were not put up because they were stuck in a traffic jam on the motorway. What the hell were they doing there? read more
