I WAS relieved to hear that the proposal to erect a cable car on the hills had been rejected as I felt this would be an unsightly overdevelopment for Malvern.

With the increasing tourist demand surely it would be possible to run small electric buggy style minibuses (of the type The National Trust use) along the existing track up to the Beacon.

I also feel the time has come to again consider a new café at the summit perhaps an architectural prize could be set up for a design which would blend in with the hills (as has been done at the summit of Snowdon).

IAN FEARNSIDE Malvern.
