TWO Bromsgrove brothers, who have run a garage for nearly 20 years, said goodbye to the premises this week.

The A1 Garage, on Birmingham Road, has been the site of a garage since the early days of motoring back in the 1920s. But this week Dave and Ray Sanders handed over the keys to developers, who are planning to build six executive homes on the site.

Dave and Ray had to fight Bromsgrove District Council to get planning permission to build the homes. Ray said: "We are still looking for another site so we could carry on working on a part-time basis but first of all we have to get this place in order."

He added: "We want to say a big thank you to all our customers, who have helped us over the years."
