Modernisation should bring more choice

4:33pm Thursday 4th February 2010

In reference to the letter ‘Day centres are a lifeline’ (Jan 21) in relation to Dudley’s day opportunities for people with learning disabilities.

Better spent

4:35pm Thursday 4th February 2010

I entirely agree with Gordon Carter, Romsley, this island monument will attract vandals and in my opinion distract motorists.

Town is stuck with an unregistered flag

4:12pm Thursday 4th February 2010

I wish to make it clear that whilst I am dissatisfied with the recent Halesowen Flag Competition, that is not down to the winning design or designer but rather with the process of the competition.

Store’s schoolkids’ policy is a disgrace

Re: Tesco Express, 175 Stourbridge Road, Halesowen.

Pupils’ safety is at risk

12:03pm Thursday 28th January 2010

Re: Parking at Huntingtree Primary School Every morning whilst walking my child to school, I fear that a child will be injured due to the inconsiderate parking by parents.

Are police changes just cost-cutting?

12:12pm Thursday 28th January 2010

I am extremely concerned at yet another restructuring of West Midlands Police.

Tweaks won’t fix it!

11:43am Thursday 28th January 2010

In the Halesowen News on January 14 Jeff Hill says a few tweaks to the lane markings at the Grange island are being looked at.

No to car wash

11:48am Thursday 28th January 2010

I live in Bromsgrove Road, Halesowen, quite near to The Pull public house.

Candidate not getting fair mention in paper

11:39am Thursday 28th January 2010

I do think that Simon Roberts is being a little unfair with James Morris about the money he has had to pay to get a mention in the columns of our free, democratic Halesowen News.

Let’s hope Earls Island isn’t as bad!

11:28am Thursday 28th January 2010

Well, I think I've seen it all now. Firstly I haven't seen any improvement in the traffic around Grange Island since the work was completed.

Empty promises no good

12:08pm Friday 22nd January 2010

I find it absolutely hilarious that James Morris and other Tories are claiming to be the party of the NHS – what a joke.

Island artwork will only amuse vandals

11:41am Friday 22nd January 2010

Not content with spending thousands and disrupting traffic for months to make the Grange Island more dangerous than it was before, the planners intend to spend more of our money erecting a piece of artwork on the island.

Confused about EU vote

11:45am Friday 22nd January 2010

I am so surprised that several people I have spoken to, do not realise that at the next voting we are actually voting for being in the EU or out of the EU.

Give the Tories your vote at your peril!

11:34am Friday 22nd January 2010

I quite agree with Tony Barnsley. The Tories talk utter tripe about tax and something else they talk tripe about is saving the NHS.

Thanks to carers for battling the snow

11:38am Friday 22nd January 2010

I wanted to comment on the effort put in by the carers of my mother- in-law during the recent bad weather.

Bus loss a hardship

4:55pm Thursday 21st January 2010

The withdrawal of the 006 bus service will affect residents on the Causey Farm estate side of the A456 as it's the only service that allows passengers to reach the other side and to travel to Halesowen without having to cross the main road on foot.

Day centres are a lifeline

4:49pm Thursday 21st January 2010

Does anyone care about the happiness of people with a learning disability?

Loss of 006 is a disaster

4:40pm Thursday 21st January 2010

At a time when we are all being exhorted to leave our cars at home and use public transport, the very bus service we would have to use is withdrawn.

Better to try than to criticise

4:19pm Thursday 21st January 2010

Having found time to read the Halesowen News recently I’ve often found myself drawn to this section of the paper.

Island is a massive improvement

3:24pm Monday 18th January 2010

I would just like to say that, for me, Grange Island has improved drastically. I work at Bartley Green so using the Grange Island from Halesowen is the quickest way for me to get there. However, A LONG TIME before the alterations were carried out, I gave up going in that direction because of the way traffic used to clog up my exit lane from the island over to Grange Hill Road and also because of the impatient drivers who used to use the wrong lane (the 'straight over' lane) to nip across the people waiting to turn left onto Manor Way. So, I started using Mucklow Hill and going the long way round to work.
