I SHOULD like to give my wholehearted support to the letter written by A Finn regarding the desecration of Cripplegate Park.

This open space must be kept as a "lung" for St John's. Already too many open spaces have been covered with concrete to accommodate the car.

What is the planning committee of Worcester City Council thing about? Is there a hidden agenda here?

We know that the county council was largely to blame for the High Street fiasco, but surely Cripplegate Park must be under the control of the city council.

There is a petition going the rounds. Readers please make sure that you sign it or write to your local councillor. It will be too late when the contractors move in.

HELEN SMART,

St John's, Worcester.
