FECKENHAM residents sometimes feel isolated and believe the village is not always valued by public service agencies, according to the findings of a Redditch Council consultation.

During the council's 20:20 vision event, villagers said they loved the community spirit of living in Feckenham along with its own school, village hall and pubs.

But they said they sometimes feel isolated and want additional attention paid to street cleaning and maintenance of allotments and more public transport.

They also wanted to see more social housing and activities for youngsters and a greater clampdown on vandalism and speeding.
