NEW Lido publicity by Wychavon is a spoof to deter folk from voting in the Parish Poll.

A press release is not a definite plan or pledge to do anything.

When the Spa had a Parish Poll on Waitrose, Wychavon put out publicity about investing £20m in High St, Ombersley St, and other declining shopping areas.

Believing it, people did not bother to vote. Wychavon claimed the low Poll turn out proved a silent majority was happy to just build Waitrose, avoiding the rest.

If residents don't vote in the coming Parish Poll, Wychavon will again claim silent majority approval to bulldoze the Lido and not replace it.

I urge all to attend Droitwich Town Meeting on April 25th and vote in the Spa Parish Poll of April 28. Wychavon has conned us before, do not let history repeat itself!
