I can remember in 1939 when The Glades Woodlands, in Malvern, was what you would nowadays call a garden centre, where you could buy flowers and look at aviaries of foreign birds. There were no more than two dozen trees.

A number of developers have put in for building garages and houses and all have been turned down on the grounds of the entry and exit for cars onto a main road.

Now you get more cars each month and they want to put up 67 apartments with car parking.
