PICTURE FROM THE ARCHIVE: Dudley hairdressers Colin Dunn and Pete Woodall were cutting their energy use as well as customers’ locks when this photograph was taken during the dark days of the 1974 energy crisis. They were getting around restrictions by trimming people’s hair by candlelight.

Dudley hairdressers Colin Dunn and Pete Woodall were getting around the restrictions imposed by the 1974 three-day week by trimming people's hair by candlelight on non-electricity days.

ANGER AT RACERS ON OUR ROADS

Well done to the E&S for its street racing petition. It is a constant menace that needs urgent action. You can hear the screeching tyres late at night, yet there is no action. Idiots on the road!

SORT OUT ROAD OUTSIDE SCHOOL

Is Dudley Council seriously waiting for a child to get injured or killed before they do something about the parking outside Roberts Primary School in Gornal?

There are cars parked the full length of the school zigzag yellow lines, the white zigzag lines before and after the pedestrian lights and both sides of the road including double yellow lines blocking the road. I have complained four times now.

They are putting new markings outside schools in Stourbridge and Halesowen - why, nothing where there are road markings now?
