SURPRISE! Surprise! Wychavon District Council has decided in its wisdom that it would be in our interest to bulldoze an historic and valued amenity - our lido.

Well done, you have finally succeeded in turning Droitwich Spa into a residential desert!

Linda Watkins of SALT said she thinks the council saw them as a "well meaning but naive action group".

I disagree. I think they gave SALT a very short time to come up with a suitable alternative for the lido simply to keep them occupied and out of the way whilst they hatchedwhat appears to be underhand plans.

In last week's paper the district council invited people in Droitwich to take advantage of a new advice pack to help communities make improvements over the next five to 10 years.

I've two suggestions - improve our lido and listen to the people of Droitwich!
