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...

IN reply to the letter, Hugh Shepherd-Walwyn in Viewpoint, ‘Pharaoh and Herod’ are prophecies from outdated superstition without any proof of true existence.

That is my cat!

Alcopop mecca...

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Laws only there to help the criminals...

2:24pm Wednesday 20th August 2008

Life never fails to amaze. With ref to letters in July 31st edition referring to today’s society, do gooders and law and order, I can only add my complete support for Kaye Allsop and Mrs Law etc. To me it’s a simple matter of enforcing the laws which currently exist!

Calling up all ex-Mercians for a day to remember

2:28pm Wednesday 20th August 2008

THE TA 100 Years Anniversary Celebrations at The National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas, near Lichfield on the 13th September 2008 will involve the Mercian Volunteers Regimental Association in a prominent role.

Progress? Not really

2:30pm Wednesday 20th August 2008

WELL, Tesco has finally gained permission to move to Stourbridge. Tesco has been very persistent in its desire to enter the town. That determination came with expected simple but forceful public arguments. A store will be a welcome addition to traditional independent shopping outlets, such as newspaper and grocery shops, bakers and fishmongers and will offer healthy competition with other local supermarkets. Jobs will be created in the wake of an influx of new customers into the area. A superstore comes with a delightful package for the complete rebuilding of the ailing Crown Centre.

Good on man for standing up to teenage bus hooligans

9:09am Wednesday 20th August 2008

To the man who caught the 254 Kingswinford to Merry Hill bus in Bromley Lane with his wife and son mid morning on Thursday July 31, a big thank you for standing up to the group of disgusting young thug teenagers who had chosen to target vulnerable members of the public also using public transport.

Little sympathy for striking council staff

9:06am Wednesday 20th August 2008

To be quite honest I’m amazed that unions are putting the boot in by taking strike action when Britain’s economy appears to be on the brink of a major recession.

Where were our MPs during mosque fight?

9:05am Wednesday 20th August 2008

Well, it appears there is no need for a council in Dudley, as they have no say in what is built, and what comes down, industrial or otherwise!

Time for a rebate on our missed green collection?

9:03am Wednesday 20th August 2008

I would like to share my view with the local people in the Dudley MBC. I have written to the local council to ask for a refund on my council tax as the local area has not had any green waste collected for a week.

Will the Tories do away with all-powerful state?

9:01am Wednesday 20th August 2008

The days of this Labour Government are nearing the end, thank goodness.
