Letter: "80 of drivers are breaking the speed limit in Oakenshaw"

Sep 3, 2024 | redditchadvertiser.co.uk | Stephanie Preece

Library picture of Police traffic speed gun. MADAM - There would be rich pickings if a mobile speed camera were to be parked at the top of Rough Hill Drive, Oakenshaw. I would estimate 80% of traffic is exceeding the speed limit, making life difficult for residents in that area. Relevant department take note. Mr Wilkes Redditch
Letter: New leisure centre is causing parking problems

Sep 3, 2024 | bromsgroveadvertiser.co.uk | Stephanie Preece

Bromsgrove Leisure Centre MADAM - The new Leisure Centre is increasingly popular and it's good to see it so. However this has meant that parking at the site is difficult. The lower car park is now open but people are using every available space, not just designated bays. The verges and landscaped areas are getting damaged. Last night it was awkward to drive round the car park due to cars on the pavements and even in the motorcycle bays.
LETTER: Even celebs like Jimmy Carr are watching the Rouslers now!

2 1/1 MADAM - It was great to see a bumper crowd at the Victoria Ground on New Year's day watching Bromsgrove Sporting play it out against local rivals Stourbridge. Good times have returned to the town's Football Club, as locals are getting as excited for these big games as they did for our famous boxing day games against Kidderminster and our FA Cup 3rd round tie against Barnsley. We even have our share of celebrities coming to watch the Sporting.
Letter: "Christmas lights may look festive - but they are killing our planet"

Sep 3, 2024 | bromsgroveadvertiser.co.uk | Stephanie Preece

Should we be switching off lights like these to save the planet? MADAM - Every year the number of Christmas lights hung outside houses increases. They may look festive but they are a chilling symbol of the massive over-consumption that is killing our planet. The price of that Christmas sparkle is more carbon filling our atmosphere which, as we all know, is causing global warming and threatening a mass extinction of species – including our own.
Letter: Eastern bypass only long-term fix for Bromsgrove's A38 traffic problems

Sep 3, 2024 | bromsgroveadvertiser.co.uk | Stephanie Preece

The A38 has been called extremely important for people travelling into and around Bromsgrove. MADAM - Shame on Bromsgrove Council proposing a £42 million sticking plaster scheme to ease congestion on the A38. (Read original story: Have a say on £50m plans to improve A38 in Bromsgrovere) Bromsgrove desperately needs an Eastern bypass (around £65 million I believe)to future proof our town to support housing and jobs.
Reader complains about bus service between Droitwich, Bromsgrove and Birmingham

Sep 3, 2024 | bromsgroveadvertiser.co.uk | Stephanie Preece

Library picture of First bus MADAM - Through the medium of your newspaper I should be grateful if I could express my dissatisfaction that the First bus service on the Salt Route, recently featured in the Droitwich Advertiser, was changed from a half hourly to one an hour service from January 26, this year without any obvious advance notice.
Reader argues against eastern bypass to ease congestion in Bromsgrove

Sep 3, 2024 | bromsgroveadvertiser.co.uk | Stephanie Preece

The A38 has been called extremely important for people travelling into and around Bromsgrove. MADAM - I have to say that I disagree with R. Sanders (letter) regarding the necessity of building an eastern bypass to ease traffic congestion in Bromsgrove. The proposal is a backwards step, as it will encourage more road pollution and therefore contribute to climate change.
Reader is horrified at news Bromsgrove's Artrix Theatre is to close for good

Sep 3, 2024 | bromsgroveadvertiser.co.uk | Stephanie Preece

The Artrix arts centre has been forced to close by the financial impact of the coronavirus outbreak. MADAM - Ever since Artrix opened in 2005 (to a classic design by architect, Glenn Howells) it has been at the heart of the cultural life of Bromsgrove and with a wide variety of shows it has catered for all tastes in the community.

STAFF and pupils at a Worcester primary school will bid a fond farewell to two much-loved members of staff today. Lynn Jenkins and Cath Wood will both retire from Red Hill CE Primary School - after a combined 57 years of service. The pair have taught thousands of youngster at the school in Arundel Drive, Battenhall since first arriving decades ago.
