Infamous area
We got mentioned twice on last night's ITV Central news. The first was regarding Cermaspeed's problems, and featured our illustrious leader; the second mention was for Lloyds Garage fighting the compulsory purchase order, which didn't feature our illustrious leader or anyone else for that matter (we had a quote instead about increasing visitors).
Catching the BBC Midlands show the gorgeous Sarah Falkland mentioned a burst water pipe in Gilgal and it later featured on the running news ticker later, though as "The Gilgal", nope it's just Gilgal. It didn't feature on the morning Central bulletin though the A1 and M5 did - honestly some people's priorities are seriously askew ;-) Anyway no sign of anything this morning though it might explain why it was so darn quiet... then again it is a Wednesday and for some reason they do tend to be quieter then other days.
[Update 11/12: Turned out to be Mitton Street opposite Peter Handley.
As Tav points out we got yet another mention from the ITV National News when the studio crossed over to a reporter "in Worcestershire" and I found myself thinking "That looks familiar" before the word Stourport popped up in the top left corner.]
[Update 12/12: And now a reporter in Bewdley about one of their funny-numbered streets]
[Update 16/12: P30 of the Jan 09 Which? magazine "In Argos, Kidderminster"]

There was a TV mention of Stourport last night (10-Dec-2008) about the collapse of Woolworths. A reporter was outside Woolworths funnily enough.
It funny isn't it? On the Cermaspeed story we had 'our illustrious leader' [of the council] on the telly making a statement when the council have nothing to do with it. Then on the compulsory purchase of Lloyds Garage, which has everything to do with the council, we hear nothing!
Especially as they seem to have been done at the same time; can't imaging sending a camera crew out twice.
