COUNCILLOR Watkins should be dismissed from the Council for the proposed 200% increase to parking permits in Malvern.

Threats to Malvern's heritage

10:50am Monday 8th February 2010

IT would appear that as we move into 2010, the security of Malvern's conservation is under threat as it has not been for many years.

Thoughts on a Youth Club

10:40am Monday 8th February 2010

I ENJOYED Mrs P Cox's thoughts on my Youth Club hopes.

Thought for the Week

7:10am Friday 5th February 2010

THE recent earthquake in Haiti caused terrible devastation with vast numbers killed and many seriously injured. Thousands have been left homeless and are having to camp in the open. Children have been orphaned and separated from their families.

Dog problem

10:54am Monday 1st February 2010

WITH reference to the letter in the Malvern Gazette of January 29 about ending the correspondence about the problems associated with dogs. Alas, until these problems are addressed I hope you continue to print such letters.

Closure of The Foley Arms Hotel

10:48am Monday 1st February 2010

WHAT an outrage! The sudden and announced closure of The Foley Arms Hotel is yet another example of a large company raking in every penny before happily declaring themselves bankrupt.

Civc pride and support for soldiers

10:24am Monday 1st February 2010

COUNCILLOR William Atkinson would like to see a parade in 2011 to celebrate St George's Day, possibly with the help of Malvern Town Council.

Thought for the Week

7:10am Friday 29th January 2010

"ALWAYS Look on the Bright Side of Life”. The song, from Monty Python’s film Life of Brian, appeals to our stoicism and has proved enduringly popular. Although neither the film nor the song is Christian in sentiment, the title contains a truth that Christians affirm. Negative thoughts tend to negative consequences while positive thoughts are helpful.

Another point of view

9:53am Wednesday 27th January 2010

I AM getting rather tired of opening my Malvern Gazette each week, turning to the Letters page and seeing yet another letter on the subject of dog mess.

Thanks to the volunteer drivers

9:48am Wednesday 27th January 2010

I WOULD like to thank all the excellent volunteer drivers that got myself and many others down to the Oncology Centre in Cheltenham daily.

Suez veterans

10:51am Monday 25th January 2010

I'VE written a book - Suez: The Hidden Truths - which details those turbulent years of the Suez Campaign of the early 1950s when thousands of troops, many on National Service were sent to defend the canal zone, often facing appalling conditions.

In praise of Shakespeare

10:41am Monday 25th January 2010

I WISH to remind people that St George's Day, April 23, is also Shakespeare's birthday which is, in my estimation, equally worthy of celebration.

A solution to a problem?

10:45am Monday 25th January 2010

COULD I suggest that the Conservators introduce a Scrappage scheme whereby if a dog owner hands in a dog for a painless dispatch, he would then receive free a cat from the Worcester Cats Protection League.

Thought for the Week

7:10am Friday 22nd January 2010

UNITY is so important, and yet unity is so elusive in our divided world! When there is unity, energy is more likely to be channelled effectively and creatively in working together for a common goal. Where there is disunity, energy is more often wasted in internal wrangling and destructive conflict. This is true of any grouping, whether a nation, tribe, political party, business organization, educational establishment, or religious community.

Pleased with prize

10:52am Wednesday 20th January 2010

I AM writing to say how pleased I am with the Harris Tweed jacket that I won in your recent competition.

Support your local milkman

10:01am Tuesday 19th January 2010

I WOULD like to give a big thanks to Cotteswold Dairy who have looked after their customers so well during this cold spell.

Grateful for the effort

11:52am Monday 18th January 2010

I WONDER which days your correspondent Mike Aldworth (January 15 edition) went to Tescos.

Snow clearing

11:41am Monday 18th January 2010

IN reply to Mike Aldworth's letter, as a retired shop owner (our shop was kept cleared of snow), my own house was not - I cleared entrance to back door.

Thanks to an unknown gentleman

11:44am Monday 18th January 2010

I WOULD like to convey my heartfelt thanks to the unknown gentleman who helped me into a wheelchair and called the paramedics, when I fell on Morrison's forecourt and broke my hip on December 12.

Unsung heroes

11:47am Monday 18th January 2010

I HAVE been reading how, in many parts of the country, rubbish has not been collected since Christmas, and it made me realise how fortunate we are to have such a good refuse collection in our area.
