Owners: Keep your dogs under control!
8:00am Saturday 20th March 2010
SIR – The irresponsible dog owners who let their terrier-type dog run off the lead about 4.15pm on Tuesday, March 16, on the public footpath leading up to Rodge Hill may or may not be interested to know that Sandy, our cherished pet chicken, which our children had hand-reared from hatching, died on Wednesday as a result of the injuries she received in the attack by the dog.
Shame Mike just slated others
8:00am Saturday 20th March 2010
SIR – Notable dignitaries from our city have a regular column in the Worcester News including the mayor, the dean and our member of Parliament. This gives readers an insight into what they and the organisations they represent are doing on our behalf.

SIR – I wouldn’t describe myself as particularly interested in politics, but I do recognise the difference between right and wrong.
Any bugs in hospital have been brought from outside
8:00am Saturday 20th March 2010
SIR – I would like to second James Connell’s article in the Worcester News of March 15, which was headed “Don’t blame the hospital for vomiting bug”. I spent a short time in February in Hazel elective orthopaedics Ward.
Have the courage of your convictions
8:00am Saturday 20th March 2010

The reality is miles away from theory

I’m going to vote for Loony Party
8:00am Saturday 20th March 2010

Throw them out
8:00am Saturday 20th March 2010
SIR – With this Ashcroft saga again the Lords have been brought into disrepute. It’s about time they were all thrown out and replaced with an elected second house.
Focus on the crocus
8:00am Saturday 20th March 2010
SUNSHINE: Sue Petford of Droitwich sent in this photo of crocuses.
Why does football get so much time on TV?
8:00am Friday 19th March 2010
SIR – Reading Stanley Parr’s letter (March 6), I must admit that I wholly agree with him in regard to TV programmes.
Put up signs to protect badgers

SIR – Why do you suppose dead badgers outnumber dead rabbits on our roads these days?

Secure chicken pen a bit better
8:00am Friday 19th March 2010
SIR – In response to Roger Smith’s letter (Friday, March 5) “Both the fox and hound kill for sport” – may I say that Michael Foster introduced a Private Member’s Bill to ban hunting with dogs in 1997 which failed, but its principles were later passed into law by the Hunting Act in 2004. So, the law has been laid.
George, they are spending on you
8:00am Friday 19th March 2010

SIR – The sad fact is that the £1.20.9 mark for petrol was reached about a week ago across the road from me at Birmingham Road Texaco. It’s a total disgrace.

We shouldn't be so shocked at killings
8:00am Friday 19th March 2010
SIR – The recall to prison of John Venables has reawakened a baying lynch mob mentality, which is strangely absent about the vast majority of adults who murder children. In those cases few of us can remember more than one or two names and are indifferent to what becomes of them.
