Airman plea
Posted on April 21 2013 0 comments

I am a history teacher from the Netherlands. For more than five years I have been researching into airmen from 142 Squadron, Royal Air Force, who died in The Netherlands.

A big thank you!

As we celebrate our second year at the Lounge we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped and supported our project during this time. 

More than names

I am all too aware that when we have Remembrance in Barnt Green and a list of names of the fallen are called out, we can all too easily register them as just a name.

How rude is Charles Bateman? His “poem” (Box-life . . . The Village, March) is offensive and belligerent.

Bonfire blight

At long last we get a warmer sunny weekend. After such a cold spell you can see people’s spirits are raised as they can get busy enjoying the fresh air in our lovely village and the surrounding countryside.

Hopwood history

I wonder if you could put a request in your letters page for old pictures of the inside and outside of the Hopwood public house before it was extended?

Parish of little benefit to me

I was very interested to read the letter from Coun Smith in the April Village and also the comments under the heading Village View regarding Alvechurch Parish Council.

After reading the article in the Bromsgrove Standard by the “leaders” of Bromsgrove District Council, I don’t know whether to believe my eyes.

I wonder if you could help our cause.  We are a group of people that have got together to try and have some input into the changes at Cofton Park.

I have recently organised a Help For Heroes charity raffle at my place of work (Bournville Police Station). 

Let’s club together to clear the snow
Posted on February 18 2013 0 comments

Given the relatively small amount of snow we have every year, is it time to club together and buy Barnt Green/Alvechurch a mini snow plough/gritter to do all of the side roads?

Harmony restored

I’m just writing to say thank you to The Village magazine for running our “Piano Plea” in the February edition.

Cofton cinema?

An online discussion site “Northfield Past” on Facebook has been discussing “Cofton Cinema”.

Thank you for kindness after fall

I would just like to thank all those who stopped and helped on Saturday January 19 when I had fallen over in Alvechurch, by where the Christmas tree goes.

Too shocking

I am writing in support of Wendy G Glynn’s letter Nativity of Doom. I was also there that afternoon with my family to start our traditional Christmas.

Clear success

I would like to say thank you to the very kind tractor driver who cleared snow from Snake Lane, Alvechurch.

I entirely agree with Wendy Glynn (Village Views, February 2013) about the Christmas Eve service at St Laurence Church, Alvechurch.

What a mess!

I live on Green Park Road, Parklands, and am both astounded and disgusted at how much dog mess there is.
