Sit and take a look around wk28

My letter is in support of the views of Ms Webb, Green and Mr Parker regarding the Plane tree in the market square. How dare people threaten to remove it. Surely AXA realise it is in a conservation area. We the people living in Evesham, if we get wind of anything happening to it, will demand a tree preservation order to be placed on it. It is disease free, completely healthy and nice to look at.

Shocked at the present situation wk28

11:43am Tuesday 7th July 2009

I was born in Evesham and have lived most of my life in this area having seen many changes for better and worse. I love the history of the wonderful Abbey and remember from my childhood old buildings which no longer exist having been destroyed because they were unsafe.

Green with envy wk28

While my husband was working at Middle Littleton on Tuesday, he was lucky enough to spot a red kite soaring on a thermal. He and two other people watched it for about five minutes before it drifted away when a glider came into view. We have made several trips to the Elan Valley and surrounding mountains to watch these super birds and have called at Gigrid Farm to watch the amazing spectacle at feeding time. ‘As the kite flies’ Wales is not far away and now I spend all my spare time scanning the sky. I am to say the least green with envy.

PLUS wk28

There was a pleasant surprise when we launched The PLUS campaign last month, encouraging Pershore people to help keep the Abbey open and welcoming to visitors all year round. The Pershore Landmark Upholders Scheme (The PLUS) enables anyone to sponsor the overheads to keep this major Vale asset open for a day – and a surprising number of married couples have responded, wanting to mark their wedding anniversary.

Thank you wk27

TO the lady and gentleman who came to my assistance in Evesham last Saturday. Thank you so much for getting me off the busy road and back on my feet and then taking me back to family. We feel we didn’t have the opportunity to thank you properly. I was badly bruised and have broken my wrist but without your kind help it could have been much worse.

It is worth it wk26

One of the letters on your letters page once intimated that there was not much point in writing to an MP or letters written in protest as in the Long Marston proposed Eco Town, as one would only receive a stereotyped reply acknowledging your letter and not much more.

What are they up to?

11:34am Monday 22nd June 2009

Walking through the sun-drenched Market Square I noticed half a dozen people enjoying the shade of the magnificent Plane tree with its comfortable seat surround. Then I recalled your Journal report of June 4 ‘First steps for square revamp’, which quoted proposals to remove that tree and the market from the square. The iconic phrase ‘revamp my’ came to mind, sorry I forgot the last bit but never mind, t’was something to do with donkeys!
