NURSES employed at Bromsgrove's Barnsley Hall Hospital complained at feeling degraded at having to be evicted by the courts from their tied health authority homes in order to get on the council house waiting list. A spokesman for Bromsgrove council, which insisted on this procedure, said staff at the hospital were treated no differently from others wanting to get a house.
BROMSGROVE, with its heavy dependence on the nearby motor and components industry, was in danger of becoming a 'ghost town' unless steps were taken to stem the increasing flow of Japanese cars into Britain. That was the view of the town's Trades Council, which backed the view of Bromsgrove MP Hal Miller and Michael Edwardes, who was the boss of British Leyland.
