I WAS one of the hundreds of Droitwich people who packed themselves into the community hall to discuss having a parish poll on the disgraceful decision of Wychavon District Council to close and demolish our Lido.

The strength of feeling was even more determined than the previous two public meetings. What was very clear is that this issue is not going to go away and Wychavon could yet see themselves with action or an investigation by the Local Ombudsman on the way they have ignored local and democratic feelings. And certain Conservatives may well be in for a shock on May 5.
