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.

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.

Such memories

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?

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

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

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.

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

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.
