Entrepreneurial spirit is kicking!

12:30pm Friday 4th December 2009

I AM pleased to report that the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and kicking amongst today’s young people in Stourbridge.

Nothing but praise for healthcare...

10:30am Thursday 3rd December 2009

THE NHS and Russells Hall Hospital have come under severe criticism in the media in recent weeks and I would like to redress the balance.

Political forum would be welcomed

1:20pm Saturday 28th November 2009

IN reply to the letter from the Chairman of the Stourbridge Labour Club on November 12.

Stop it you litterbugs!

1:20pm Friday 27th November 2009

THIS is a plea to all those who use the passageway from the middle of Grampian Road to the trading estate and the wooded area leading to the B'ham St car park to stop dropping litter!! On Saturday 14th November along with Councillors Peter Lowe and Mohammed Hanif I helped clear up the rubbish that had accumulated.

Thanks for your Remembrance support

ON behalf of the Quarry Bank branch of the Royal British Legion I would like to thank everyone for their support at the Remembrance service in Christ Church Quarry Bank and later in Stevens Park at the memorial.

Well done lads

I FEEL I must write to you to convey my congratulations to Jest and Seka for their superb graffiti which now adorns various parts of Quarry Bank High Street and other areas.

Success story grows and grows

1:16pm Thursday 26th November 2009

Did you know that FAIRTRADE Mark hit the shops 15 years ago this month?

Such memories

1:17pm Thursday 26th November 2009

I HAVE just read your article about the retreat which was built for the children at my old school, Pedmore CofE. What a wonderful idea which other schools could follow.

Surely we’re owed prudent politics?

1:18pm Thursday 26th November 2009

FOR over three decades now I have witnessed misguided politics on a grand scale and feel that so much time has been lost.

No justice in the world!

1:19pm Thursday 26th November 2009

I READ a report in the local evening press where five men failed to get their records for minor offences committed in their youth, many years ago, deleted from police computer data records.

I’m happy to play my part

1:20pm Thursday 26th November 2009

I WAS interested to see GH Downing's challenge on your Viewpoint page on 15th October ("Let's ask our questions face-to-face"). I was surprised to see no reply in your issue of 22nd October, either from Dudley Council, or from the Stourbridge Area Committee, or from the Stourbridge Township Council, or indeed from Stourbridge's MP. So let me please reassure GH Downing and all your readers that, as prospective Liberal Democrat candidate I would be very happy to attend an open question-and-answer session in Stourbridge Town Hall with all the other candidates, either now, or during the general election campaign, or both. I've never been interested in being controlled by any party whip - and I don't think our Liberal Democrat whips are in the business of preventing an honest exchange of views between residents and candidates. At each of the last three general elections there has been a public question-and-answer session organised by Churches Together in Stourbridge. At the last general election the candidates also faced questions from students at King Edward's College and at Oldswinford Hospital. The more such meetings with potential voters, the better.

Happy to help

10:33am Monday 30th November 2009

IN response to Rosemary Umbers letter, I can only agree as a resident of Penfields it is a disgrace down the alleyways leading down to Mill Race Lane from The Penfield's Estate.

Help Biobank to shape our future

10:33am Monday 30th November 2009

THE people of Dudley, Stourbridge and Halesowen will shortly be asked to help build an important resource to improve the health of future generations; I do hope many will choose to take part.

Worries for town

11:00am Wednesday 21st October 2009

WE, the members of Norton Townswomen’s Guild are very concerned about the future of Stourbridge Town.

Heroes Help thanks to all

9:00am Tuesday 20th October 2009

ON behalf of the family of the late Daniel Probyn (1st Battalion Grenadier Guards) I’d like to say a big thankyou to Alastair Rose at Heaven gentlemen’s club for what was a splendid and charitable evening in aid of Help For Heroes.

More questions again...

6:00pm Monday 19th October 2009

IT appears that the ongoing saga regarding Broadfield House is as far away from solution as ever.

Vote for someone who’s interested

1:30pm Sunday 18th October 2009

I WRITE with regard to the recent public meeting held concerning the Caparo Aluminium factory in Wollaston and my disgust the lack of support and interest that was shown by our so called elected officials of the council. There are three councillors representing Wollaston and three for Amblecote.

Rude customer left me very upset

3:00pm Saturday 17th October 2009

I AM a former resident of Stourbridge, I like to visit the town as often as I can to visit friends and shop in the High Street and Ryemarket.

Skating youths need stopping

1:00pm Friday 16th October 2009

I'VE read stories about the misuse of Mothers and Childrens parking spaces at Sainsburys Amblecote, at the same time it does look as if they do have another anti social problem on their hands, more often than not particularly after school time, it is not unusual to see children charging around the car park on roller skates intimidating customers and causing motorists to slam on their brakes to avoid a collision.

Let’s ask our questions face-to-face

4:00pm Thursday 15th October 2009

IN view of the possible BBC programme as to how the political situation in Stourbridge may develop in the run-up to next year’s General Election.
