West Malvern Parish Council is up to its full strength of seven members once again, following the decision to co-opt two new councillors at the June meeting last Monday. The co-options became necessary after the May election had produced only six candidates for seven seats, all of whom were therefore automatically elected, and one of whom resigned immediately following the poll. The new councillors are Ellie Harnden and Peter Vant. Ellie was a member of the previous council, and as the mother of three young children is much involved with the village school and the Leapfrogs and Toddlers groups. She has also represented West Malvern on the inter-parish transport group which is working to set up an improved evening bus service. Peter Vant has lived in Ebrington Road for the past five years and is active in the Social Club, of which he is treasurer. He is also nvolved in preparations for next weekend's West Malvern Festival. more...

ON Tuesday, June 3, members of Upleadon Over 60s Club met. It was a day when they were out and about. Field's luxury coach left Newent at 8.20am and travelled to Upleadon and on to Somerset. A stop was made for coffee at Gordano service station. It was then on to Bishops Lyddiard to board the steam train to Minehead. The journey was through lovely countryside and at times by the sea. The weather was fine and not too hot and sunny. In fact just pleasant for such a trip. It was lunch time when the stop was made at Minehead. This allowed members to take lunch at their favourite places and enjoy Minehead during the two hour stay. The journey was then taken in reverse arriving home at 8pm. Twenty three people were on the trip, which was thoroughly enjoyable. This was due to Mr Gerald Draper, whose enthusiasm and superb organisation were much appreciated. more...

IT has been a while since I mentioned the speed of traffic travelling through the village. We have 30mph limits but no-one seems to think that it applies to them. What has to be done to make all motorists take notice? To stick to the speed limits will probably make a difference of a few seconds on your journey, is it not worth it to take that extra bit of time and stay within the law? This is an appeal to all motorists travelling through Bushley, please stay within the speed limits. We do not want an accident to make everyone take notice. more...
