Plenty to do to get the New Year underway perhaps a walk around Hagley to get some fresh air and burn off some of that Christmas fayre! - see centre pages. Advance notice 2 events coming up- Hagley Music Festival and the Resolution Run around Hagley Hall. Don’t forget to get your tickets early for the Rotary event in February- this is always very popular and sells out quickly- see back cover for details. A bit of history in the making when The Flying Scotsman passed through Hagley under the historic railway bridge that Hornby based it’s model on. Thanks to Julie Lamb for the photograph on the front cover and hope she didn’t mind we tweaked it slightly. Nichola Trigg Editor HAGLEY MUSIC FESTIVAL 2017 The 2017 Hagley Music Festival runs from 5th May - 21st May.

Over the coming weeks and months Severn Trent Water will be conducting a series of public information and consultation events to raise the awareness of an extensive sewer flood alleviation scheme in Hagley during the summer of 2017. HPC remains concerned over the lack of action taken by Worcestershire Highways Authority to respond to complaints raised by the ‘Safer Roads for Hagley’ campaign and HPC has taken the unprecedented steps of hand delivering a letter making the Chief Executive Officer at WCC responsible for the unsatisfactory performance of the Highways Authority and making the CEO also responsible for the safety of road users and pedestrians. At the time of writing the planned new Pavilion is awaiting the final formal confirmation of the Football Foundation grant. This will trigger final formal appointments of contractors to commence works.
