THE standing room only meeting called by SALT (Save A Lido Today) to consider calling a Parish Poll last week was further evidence to Wychavon and the controlling Conservatives how strong the feelings are in the Spa and how so out of touch they are.

None of their own pathetic attempts at public consultation over the years have resulted in anything like the number of responses that SALT have in the support for the retaining and improvement of the Lido. So why oh why ignore this clear expression of public feelings?

Councillors Pam Davey and Mike Barrett sat there all night not saying a word, but I bet they hurried back to report to Councillor Martin Jennings at head office as soon as the meeting finished. And what's the betting we get a last minute wonder plan from the dark forces at the Pershore Civic Centre?

Just in time for the election.

The good people of Droitwich are not going to be fooled that easily - or are they?
