| Well done to our group of pioneers | | 10:26am Friday 18th April 2008 | | Home-Start Cotswolds (North) would like to congratulate our pioneer group of volunteers who have recently completed our exciting training course, which ran for one day per week over ten weeks in term time. The committed and caring volunteers were the first to take part in this training course to provide Home-Start support in the North Cotswolds. These seven volunteers will shortly be giving up three hours per week to offer informal support and friendship to families with at least one child under the age of five years in the North Cotswolds, mostly during home visits. |
| Going out of my way | | 10:26am Friday 18th April 2008 | | I LIVE in Evesham and five days a week I drive through Sedgeberrow to get to Winchcombe for work. |
| Insult to the OAPs | | 10:25am Friday 18th April 2008 | | THIS month I would ask all pensioners over the age of 80 to send back the 25p weekly age addition they received. Send this insulting amount back to the Chancellor, in protest at the governments failure to substantially raise the basic state pension. |
| Give pensioners the cash back | | 10:25am Friday 18th April 2008 | | THERE are billions of pounds of tax money, lying idly in Brown's pockets, unclaimed by pensioners. |
| Shame of this uncaring act | | 10:24am Friday 18th April 2008 | | I write to express my great sadness that the last ditch effort to save Pershore Care Centre was lost. |
| Housing opportunity is lost | | 11:36am Thursday 10th April 2008 | | THE signs and the publicity for the recent development on the Pershore Road, Eckington promised "Affordable Houses". |
| Land’s legalities | | 11:36am Thursday 10th April 2008 | | I have a personal and a professional interest in the controversy over the unauthorised youth area at Bidford, reported on April 3. Personally I live close by and walk round either side of the site frequently. I accept this land will inevitably have a public use - ideally one which makes better use of the adjoining car park. |
| He’s speaking for silent majority | | 11:35am Thursday 10th April 2008 | | THREE cheers for Mr Hastilow. Not before time that someone speaks out for the silent majority who do not voice their opinions for fear of being accused of racism. No MP has ever admitted that our health and education systems and housing problems are all exacerbated by immigrants who have never contributed by paying taxes here. As for farmers etc needing foreign labour, if the benefit system didn't allow some perfectly fit and healthy people to be better off not working far fewer foreign workers would be required. |
| Who’s responsible? | | 11:34am Thursday 10th April 2008 | | JULIAN Palfrey's letter (Plans need sensitive touch) makes several good points: but there are deeper faults which have contributed to the position he describes. |
| It’s common sense | | 11:32am Thursday 10th April 2008 | | COMMON sense - a quality more apparent in ordinary thinking folk, but not always seen within politics - the science of expediency, according to cynics; has completely vindicated experienced journalist, editor and successful manager, thinking politician, as yet one of the finest Conservatives yet to be elected to Westminster. |
| Let them be | | 11:34am Thursday 3rd April 2008 | | I AGREE with Dottie Friedli. |
| Show some road sense! | | 11:33am Thursday 3rd April 2008 | | I AM a long vehicle driver, and earlier on today I was leaving Evesham, driving an articulated lorry, heading out of town on the A46 towards the roundabout at the top of the Cheltenham Road. |
| Good environmental use | | 11:31am Thursday 3rd April 2008 | | AS one who lives opposite the Abbey park in Pershore I would like to applaud the attempt at naturalisation of the area, with wild life ponds and the new footbridge. |
| Clear view of flooding | | 11:30am Thursday 3rd April 2008 | | As a resident of Badsey I viewed the risen waters again recently and spoke to several residents yet again affected by high water. |
| Plans need ‘sensitive touch’ | | 10:01am Thursday 27th March 2008 | | SENSITIVE development of a prominent site at the entrance to Pershore's historic High Street is more important then the grandiose plans as envisaged by the former owner of Croome Court, Laurence Bilton, in last week's Journal. |
