  • Reply to pets

    WITH reference to the letter from Ms Holloway last week (No pets please). Festival Housing owns and manages nearly 10,000 properties across Worcestershire and Herefordshire and in the great majority of these properties we welcome pets. The properties

  • Inspirational

    WHAT an honour it was to have ‘Dan Johnsey’ from Chepstow carry the Olympic torch in Malvern. I was standing at the bottom of Malvern Link in Worcester Road to see this young man walk past Spring Gardens. The courage and smiles he has displayed

  • Orchids lost

    THE article on the green-winged orchid being mown at Welland was very interesting. I have been very impressed with the care the orchids have been given at Welland over many years now. It is indeed a pity that some of the orchids have been mown

  • Lots on offer at show

    THIS year’s Three Counties Show in Malvern is set to be a record-breaker for the second year running. After celebrating the best-ever livestock numbers at last year’s show, organiser the Three Counties Agricultural Society is reporting numbers
