I AM writing in response to Reg (Snowy) Bailey's letter last week.

His condemnation of Evesham, especially the riverside is beyond belief.

When we get old we all have nostalgic views of how things were in our younger days, but I fail to see how anyone can say that nobody cares about the town.

I have lived here for 17 years and have nothing but praise for the way that the parks department have transformed the river area, so lets give credit where it's due and leave the Victor Meldrews of this world to wallow in their misery.

MRS WIN NEWNHAM, Blackthorn Close, Evesham.
