I HAVE lived in Malvern for 35 years and watched the town centre slowly 'closing down'. Today was a beautiful sunny day and I walked up the Beacon.

It reminded me how glorious it is.

Two things surprised me. One was the number of mountain bikers not sticking to bridleways, and not a conservator in sight to stop this illegal activity.

And two was how great it would be for this experience to be available to other less able people to enjoy. Hence I have become an advocate of a cable car.

How come the Conservators are adamant it would not be legal and yet are happy to not enforce the legality of mountain bikes being off designated bridleways.

'Cake and eat it' comes to mind.

Let us bring Malvern back to life not knock another nail in!
