  • Frustrated as well

    I WOULD like to express my deep sadness at the action taken by Clive Smith (Longstanding Lib Dem goes Green, Gazette, November 23). I have known him for almost 30 years and have always admired his resilience and commitment. I am not alone in

  • Evening a farce

    I AM afraid Tarik Al Rasheed’s otherwise excellent article on the proposed housing blueprint for Malvern in last week’s Gazette, failed to highlight three important points. Firstly, the initial vote, on whether or not to accept the original SWDP

  • Divided council is impacting on how town is run

     A SPECIAL meeting has been called to discuss the future of a council that has split into two rival “factions”. Battle lines are being drawn between newer and more established members at Upton Town Council over how the council should be run.

  • An easy solution

    I HAVE lived in my house on the Acton Beauchamp Road for 18 years. This year has seen more local flooding and impassable roads between here and Malvern than all of the previous 17 years put together. Why I ask myself? I have not seen the
