A NEW notice board is now gracing Alvechurch, thanks to Where Next Industries and members of Alvechurch Village Society.

The society consists of a dedicated team of volunteers who maintain the footpaths, stiles and signposts around the village.

The locations of the footpaths are shown on a map on a notice board near the train station but thanks to its constant use and the inclement weather, the board needed replacing.

So the society called on Where Next Industries, which runs a factory in Redditch making wooden products, and commissioned them to make a new notice board which now takes pride of place near the station.

The Where Next Association gives work experience and training to people with learning difficulties.
