I'm interested in whether Fern House Farm might be haunted.

We have friends who live at Fern House Farm where it is now a riding stables. One of the bedrooms in particular is never warm and several workers have refused to go near it.

Does anyone know any details of the history of this site and surrounding area?

I read a letter in last Thurday's Coventry Observer (the free paper) that Virgin Cross Country wishes to cut the level of this service. It is only hourly at the moment and any decrease to this surely does not bode well. No other company operates this route, nor has any plans to do so.

Do you know where I can find more info on the net re this prospective reduction in service? Virgin's website is useless for this sort of stuff and it's 'Customer Services' Department is a joke.

It is very annoying that whilst public transport connections with Birmingham are well catered for by Centro, when it comes to maintaining transport links with neighbouring districts of Warwickshire we are so poorly served.

Reading Rugby Cllr Collett's comments in the past weeks press beggars belief, he is the Portfolio Holder for Borough Development, a position which one would think would lead him to call for strategic commercial investment coming into the borough, but no, he criticises the Strategic Rail Authority for their past £8m inward investment at Rugby Station, and questions their proposed new development of a new Railway Station.

A real person with their feet on the ground would think that this officer would seek, local, regional, national and international investment to support those within Rugby environs and give us a world class transport infrastructure.

But no, he calls for the redevelopment of the adjacent Cattle Market & Alsthom site and last week a new Town Hall (fit for the size of the Councillors egos), the Cattle Market we already know is to become the new site for Rugby & Leamington colleges employing more civil servants, he'll probably call for the Alsthom site to house a museum (sponsored by rate payers) to hold exhibits showing how in Rugby in years gone by, people actually used to work doing productive jobs to fund local council projects!
