WELL, the news is out or is it news? Didn't we all know our local councillors on Wychavon District Council would side with Pershore and Evesham in destroying one of the few remaining bits of Droitwich heritage, the Lido.
It is worth reminding the ratepayers of Droitwich that the reason the Lido was in such a state was because Wychavon failed to maintain it as they failed to maintain the freshwater swimming pool on the same site which we don't hear much mention of.
Wychavon has brought us the building of a Waitrose in Droitwich. We can now start to see what a horror of a building it is. We are yet to see the parking chaos it will cause. Yet these same councillors approved an edge of town Tesco in Evesham.
It is time we got rid of Wychavon with its excessive staff and offices and returned Droitwich to the people of Droitwich.

l It has been brought to my attention that a letter published last week - relating to the Droitwich Lido closure - contained some inaccuracies. Our apologies for this and for any embarrassment and concern it may have caused to the Spa councillors who were named. EDITOR
