ONCE again the Malvern Gazette gives front page coverage to narrow minded Malvern residents complaining about their green spaces being used for much-needed housing development.

Do these people not realise their houses now stand on what was once such a piece of land! With a national housing shortage causing dramatic property price rises pushing local homes out of reach of the younger generations of the town, I ask these people to think of others and stop moaning. Surely the Malvern area has plenty of open spaces to appreciate but not enough affordable property for the young to start the steep climb up the property ladder.
