Hypocrites on immigration

11:50am Sunday 28th June 2009

The inconsistency and hypocrisy in our position is that we wish an open door policy for those immigrants who are skilled and valued or who are white and wealthy.

Cameron is no white knight

10:00am Friday 19th June 2009

As Britain stumbles from economic crisis to political crisis and Gordon Brown appoints a man best known for the soundbite 'you're fired', as Enterprise Czar, maybe it's worth taking a step back to look at the mess.

First class stamp for a second class service

Us councillors could not have done more

2:20pm Tuesday 16th June 2009

From the first time that I met him in March 2008, Mr Roberts made it abundantly clear that he did not believe that any member of the Conservative Party would help him and the Friends of the Coombeswood Green Wedge fight St Modwen's planning application to build on the Wedge. Despite this attitude the Halesowen North councillors worked with him, other group members and countless local residents to vigorously contest the planning application. We attended meetings with the Friends, put them in touch with other interested groups, provided them with advice on how to fight the proposals, raised the campaign's profile through our newsletters, submitted detailed objection letters, encouraged residents to submit objections, and helped with path clearance and litter-picking. I don't think there is anything else we could have done to help, and we were all bitterly disappointed when the planning application was approved.

We would love more buses!

We, the residents of Hawne, Belle Vale and Alexandra Road will be more than willing to except a few of the buses that seem to be a nuisance to the estates that seem to bicker so much about the routes going past their houses.
