Letters

• Wildly unimaginative name

  PROSPECT View? Whoever decided on the name of the new health centre? read more

• Consider us pedestrians

  I WOULD like to say thank you to all those considerate drivers who slowed down while driving through the flood on Wells Road (next to Malvern Common) last Monday afternoon and noticed myself and my grandson in his pushchair on the pavement next to the flood water. read more

• It's shameful!

  ALTHOUGH the rain this week was exceptional, the drainage system in Malvern is permanently exceptionally bad. read more

• Is irony lost?

  AM I alone in seeing the irony in the police cones placed on top of double yellow lines in Upton High Street? Don't the double yellows already mean don't park here'? Have they become so ignored (both by drivers and by the local police) that they need the cones too? Sadly the answer is clearly yes - as illustrated by a sign in a local shop window which asks that when people park on the double yellows, could they turn off their engine to avoid gassing the staff! read more

• Second class

  MY family and I recently moved from Aberdeen to Malvern and have settled in very happily in this beautiful part of the country. read more

• Failing in its duty

  IN response to your article (Ledbury Reporter, June 29) reporting a claim that the chairman of Ledbury Allotment Association is "obstructing the council's work in the search for allotments", I would like to comment that, from an outsider's point of view (i.e. I am not involved with either the allotment association or the town council), and having followed this ongoing saga through your newspaper over many months, I am disgusted and bewildered with what the council is saying. read more

• Kept in the dark

  I write in reference to the article published in last week's Ledbury Reporter "Chairman accused of obstructing search for allotments". read more

• Bare no more

  WHEN is something really effective going to be done about the insidious and invasive creep of woodland up the slopes of the hills, which is threatening to change their whole character? And I mean effective! read more

• Hidden costs

  ON approaching the municipal tip recently in my company car, which is a Nissan Navara - technically I admit, a commercial vehicle - I was approached by one of the members of staff and told I couldn't dump my sons old mattress without a permit. He handed me an application form, which I have since completed and sent to County Hall in the hopes that they send me, as I understand it, a book of eight numbered vouchers which allow me to visit the skips eight times during the year. read more

• Made it possible

  MANY thanks to the volunteers I work with at the Amnesty International bookshop in Edith Walk, and all the customers who sponsored me for the sleep out Friday night/Saturday morning, in aid of Refugee Week, and also a big thank you to Helen, from the Foley Arms Hotel, for her generous donation. I wouldn't have been able to sit there wrapped up in my duvet in my wheelchair all night without your support. read more
