Road Safety follow-up: problems and potential solutions
Members of Romley PC have met with Worcester Highways about the problems on the Bromsgrove Road and the surrounding feeder roads. We created a list of problems and potential solutions and there seemed to be acknowledgement that several integrated solutions need to be deployed, but that a proper a study of flow, speed and behaviour is required first.
WCC’s road safety engineering team will collate and analyse all casualty and damage only accident details for the area, including Day House Bank, from both West Midlands and West Mercia Police. Following the analysis of the data, a site safety scheme review will be carried out and a scheme options appraisal put to the WCC Strategic Infrastructure Board for consideration of funding.

Lickey Hills Circular Walk Report
Well, we struck lucky with the weather today didn’t we, dry and just a nice temperature.
Nineteen of us were able to make this year’s annual “out of parish walk” which was around the Lickeys and surrounding countryside.
I hope those who came found the look at the WW1 gun butts of interest, as well as the 14th century St Michael’s church, Bittell reservoir and steam pump house. I hope you all enjoyed the walk too of course, especially the lack of stiles!
Thanks for your company.
Regards,
Stuart Smith

May Wild Garlic Walk 2017
Hello All
Thanks again to those of you who could make today’s walk. Those of you who couldn’t, well, you missed a treat as the wild garlic was at its best. The weather wasn’t quite what we’ve become accustomed to on parish walks though – we had a few drops of rain near the end! It was good to see a few new faces amongst the twenty of us who enjoyed the walk, I hope the “regulars” will not misconstrue that, I’m always glad to see you!
I mentioned, when the walk went along the permissive path in Ell wood that someone had sent me some photos of a shelter that had been built in the wood. I’ve attached a couple of photos of it along with the walk group photo. I thought it was quite an impressive effort!
I look forward to seeing those who can make the next walk, The Orchid walk on 17th June. Lets hope the wild flowers give as good a showing as the garlic.
Regards
Stuart

Rights of Way Walk April 2017
Many thanks to all those who were able to make today’s walk, it was good to see such a good turnout (20).
In particular, thanks for your forbearance in listening to me rattling on about Rights of Way, I hope you found it at least a little bit interesting.
Rest assured that “normal service will be resumed” for the next walk on 13th May!
Here are a couple of photos for your scrapbooks or recycle bin as appropriate.
