NAMES for a controversial development of apartments in Droitwich Spa have been put forwarded.

The town council was asked to suggest names for the new development on the Worcestershire Hotel site.

Councillor Pam Davey (Con - Droit.South) suggested The Worcestershire.

"It keeps the original name and we don't have to dream up something else," she said.

Cllr Frank Payne (Lab - Droit.West) chipped into the debate: "I suggest Sold Down, as in Sold Down the River."

The planning committee, which met at St Richard's House last Monday, decided The Worcestershire would be more appropriate.
