As a Bewdley resident and trader, I was disappointed to read two stories in the Shuttle recently.

The first one was about the proposed removal of the flood barriers from Beals Corner.

The second one was the proposed closure of the fire station.

Put the two together and we have a disaster.

I don’t know about being plunged into the Dark Ages, it seems to me the dinosaurs have already moved in.
