Village reader Dr SB Vohra, of Cofton Hackett, sent us some atmospheric photos from a trip to Cornwall.

Athelstan should be celebrated and not misspelled

Of course the council should correct its misspelling of Althestan Close in Alvechurch (“Street name slip-up”, The Village April 2015).

The lynx effect
Posted on May 28 2015 at 12:28:54

I think I have just seen a lynx in your village. I have just returned from a stag do (I stopped drinking last night, so I’m pretty sure it wasn’t the alcohol) for which we rented a canal boat and had an absolutely incredible time.

Generosity helps Nepal

I’d like to thank all those who gave so generously to the collection for the Nepal Earthquake Disaster Appeal, organised by the Rotary Club of North Worcestershire.

‘Bronx’, ‘snobs’ . . . what next?

I refer to the letter from Neil Mortiss about labelling Redditch “the Bronx” (Village Views May 2015).

A superb effort

Alvechurch and Hopwood Cricket Club were honoured to host Finlay Church’s world record for a continuous line of teddy bears on Sunday May 3rd.

Who said politics is boring? At last, two of our villages were given the opportunity on May 7 to vote for someone standing not for a political party, but just for them. And boy, did they grasp the chance!

Park party poopers

I would just like to congratulate everyone who organised the Alvechurch Picnic in the Park.

Pavements are for people

I’ve been minded to write because I run along Barnt Green Road a couple of times a week, and there are often vehicles parked obstructing the pavement.

Speed fears

It was with great interest that I read the comment regarding drivers speeding in the Barnt Green area (Village Views, May 2015).

Looking for an answer
Posted on May 28 2015 at 12:33:54

I was very disappointed that no one on the panel at the pre-election forum at Alvechurch Baptist Church gave a straight answer to my question – that only English students have to pay the extortionate fees while the Welsh and Scottish students pay nothing; the same goes for prescription charges.
