ALERT Lower Howsell residents, having unanimously rejected any developers proposals for their declared open space, should be aware they are now facing a threat from another direction.

Already bombarded daily on our roads by heavy lorries and machinery by a business operating from the Transco site, Transco itself has applied to install four more lorries on its site (in addition to its existing licence).

Residents concerned about the existing nuisance should look for the "small print" public notice which appeared in the Malvern Gazette (June 8) and make their objections without delay; they should also keep reminding the district council of their views on existing operations from the Transco site along the 17T limit and other local roads, all of them residential in character.
