Glassfest a breath of fresh air

11:23am Wednesday 10th September 2008

WASN’T it wonderful in Stourbridge on Saturday? (Glass Festival) - High St closed off to traffic, lots of stalls and some really good street music and children's events.

Get a proper life, Pete!

HOW sad that Peter Robbins can find nothing better to do on the beautiful French Riviera than look for absent red elastic bands.

Take a lesson from London

11:26am Wednesday 10th September 2008

RECENTLY in Londons ‘Putney’, I was intrigued to note that one could be fined up to £500 for cycling on the public footpath.

Such memories of beautiful county...

11:27am Wednesday 10th September 2008

I WAS very interested in the article in last week's Stourbridge news by Craig Woodhouse on the beauty of Lancashire.

Lying to children

11:29am Wednesday 10th September 2008

HAVING just watched the television series on the life of Charles Darwin and the scientific proof of evolution, it saddens me to walk past the local primary school displaying a large notice board saying, ‘Welcome to St James, where your children can experience the love of Jesus Christ’.

The products of this fallen world of ours

11:20am Wednesday 10th September 2008

MAY I reply to Kay Allsopp’s viewpoint, ‘The mythical world of hoodie-huggers and (Christians).

Recycling’s so rubbish!

11:18am Wednesday 10th September 2008

OUR local politicians are a credit to themselves.

Campaign is NOT ‘emotionally driven...’

11:16am Wednesday 10th September 2008

IN reply to the letter from Will Edwards Norton regarding the campaign to remove the mobile telephone masts on High Acres Estate, I would like to make it quite clear that our campaign is not an emotionally driven one based upon tabloid newspaper sensationalism.

Subterranean treasures must be saved

2:31pm Wednesday 27th August 2008

IT is grossly and ethically wrong to deny the people of Stourbridge the right to their hidden history, when DMBC are pumping millions into the Dudley area especially their cave system as a huge tourist attraction. They have the monopoly of tourism within a mile radius of Dudley Castle.

The mythical world of the hoodie-huggers...

12:11pm Wednesday 27th August 2008

IN reply to the letter, Hugh Shepherd-Walwyn in Viewpoint, ‘Pharaoh and Herod’ are prophecies from outdated superstition without any proof of true existence.

Charles is right on GM concerns

12:12pm Wednesday 27th August 2008

PRINCE Charles has spoken out again and will probably receive the customary jeers. However, I believe he is right and that the future ownerships of the world feed bank by the multinationals with their perfectionist policies (feeds, pesticides, fertilisers ) do have serious dangers attached. Action Aid, Friends of the Earth, the Guardian and many others give a very different picture to that of the GM companies.

Our thanks go out to a proper professional

12:14pm Wednesday 27th August 2008

DEAR Martyn (Reporter Stourbridge News). On behalf of the community on High Acres Estate Kingswinford, we would like to thank you so much for your continued interest and excellent coverage of the story in the Stourbridge News regarding the controversial High Acres Base-Station.

Alcopop mecca...

12:15pm Wednesday 27th August 2008

AFTER reading about closure of Kidderminster Carpets after 30 years and comment regarding "Ghost Town".

That is my cat!

12:17pm Wednesday 27th August 2008

Can the person in the Mount/ Manor/ Church Road, Kinver/ New Street area who has gone into the newsagents (at the bottom of Wordsley High St next to the Balti) saying they have found and kept in a ginger cat PLEASE CONTACT ME on 07982 243508 as I believe he is mine.

Subterranean treasures must be saved

Protest is ignorance

12:10pm Wednesday 27th August 2008

I WOULD like to voice my concerns over Wendy Baggott’s campaign to remove the mobile telephone masts at High Acres Estate. I feel she is running an emotionally driven campaign based upon tabloid newspaper sensationalism.

Rising cost of our park

2:43pm Wednesday 20th August 2008

EVERY day we are seeing on television or reading in the newspapers about the "credit crunch", the rising cost of food and fuel and the never ending rise in the price of gas and electricity.

Super website!

2:40pm Wednesday 20th August 2008

AS an avid reader of the Stourbridge News I look forward to receiving my weekly news through my door. Having recently been introduced to the internet, I was looking at local website when they had a link to www.stourbridgenews.co.uk.

Medical centre is stroke of genius!

2:37pm Wednesday 20th August 2008

I AM usually having a go at the way Stourbridge has been messed about, destroyed or generally it’s history and people being ignored. However, this letter is to praise some people with a great vision that will save a historic building, that being the Foster, Rastrick & Co building off Lowndes Road, the birthplace of the ‘Stourbridge Lion’ - the first train to run on the tracks in America. The proposed ‘Lion Medical centre’, is the best thing to be put forward for this town, to protect part of our history and to look to the future health and care for our people. So, for a change I commend Quadrant Land Partnership and especially Stourbridge’s Worcester St Surgery.

Good news for butterflies

2:34pm Wednesday 20th August 2008

I HAVE been a member of Butterfly Conversation for some years. The aim of our organisation is to save butterflies, moths and their habitats. Our membership monitors numbers and these records are collated on a national register. Unfortunately UK butterflies and moths are in decline. It is recognised worldwide that these extraordinary creatures are a vital indicator of environmental and ecological change. Efforts to preserve them include the management of habitat, a policy adopted by other conservation and land preservation trusts to encourage specialist flora and fauna. This policy has proved extremely successful in saving many of our most endangered species of butterfly and moth.
