DEAR EDITOR -- Is there anybody out there who, like me, are a little bit dismayed at the £9.5m that is being given to the Droitwich Canals.

I don't suppose there is any chance the powers that be could see their way forward to perhaps lending Wychavon a million so they can bring back to life our one and only outdoor pool?

Surely this alone should be able to get a lottery grant. There is no other outdoor lido for miles.

This is the only thing for the younger generation can do in the long summer holidays.

I myself used to use the pool on a regular basis.

Perhaps this is too much to ask as Droitwich has never really welcomed the young, and yes I have lived in Droitwich Spa all of my life.

Sally Sheppard,

Droitwich Spa.
