DEAR EDITOR - The Service of Thanksgiving for the life and work of the late Councillor Terri Matthews was a most moving tribute, to a totally dedicated, diligent, loyal, caring and very special lady, who gave over thirty years in service to the town and district of Bromsgrove.

Her high standards of honesty, integrity, forthrightness and commitment are an example to all who take up public office at whatever level. Her selfless and unwavering effort to achieve the very best for the community and its residents is well known and highly respected.

What more fitting way to remember her commitment to Bromsgrove than to give her name to the new Arts Centre, which she worked so long and hard to see come to fruition.
