I don't know what the current situation is, but I would like to record my support for maintaining funding for The Hive. I visited it several times for material in support of a Milestone Society Project to restore six nationally unique cast Iron mileposts on a former Turnpike through Shipston on Stour. We were successful in obtaining a Heritage Lottery Fund Grant for the project.

I *am* a part of the future generations, and no, I don't forgive the people responsible.

As course leader for History at the University of Worcester I am gravely concerned at the potential impact of these savage cuts. The Archives are an essential resource for university staff, our students and the general public.

What else is a library for, if not to house an archive? These cuts should be resisted, and the archive saved for all future generations.

My family estate at Alscot Park in Warwickshire had a property at Saintbury. In addition parts of the current estate near Newbold were likewise in the county of Worcestershire so I much need access to your county records.

Very worrying to read of lack of support for this marvellous resource.

Resources such as these require maintenance and investment. They are not there to be used as 'easy targets' for cost-cutting.

This is a valuable resourse that allows researchers the further knowledge, employment and work in the area.

Access to records about our heritage are essential and it is a tragedy this wonderful service is being cut. All of these cuts mark the end of civic decency.

A tragedy for Worcester and Worcestershire. A cut too far.

It is a priceless collection and must remain open to everyone and conserved for the future by being well looked after.

this is a fabulous resource for the people of Worcester and beyond - it should be held as an example of good practice, not destroyed by cuts

An essential source of information and should not be cut from funding.
