NOW that the Tories have won overall control on Worcester City Council, the Labour group can no longer lay the blame for their own continuing failings at the door of the Independents.

Perhaps we will now see the controlling Tories addressing the disgraceful litter problem on our streets. This was one of the main issues that were raised by the majority of people on the doorstep and also frequently mentioned by those interviewed by the Evening News.

Worcester streets have became a takeaway litter dump. This is just one issue the Tories will no longer be allowed to duck.

BRIAN HUNT,

Worcester.
