DEAR EDITOR - Over the winter we have noted remarks in the press made by certain councillors and their wives.

Councillor Pam Davey seizes every opportunity to air her views, which like most politicians reflects only points that suit the cause of her party and then only half truths.

How on earth can anyone have faith in her, she stated openly in council that the Waitrose store would be Droitwich's own millennium disaster and then she voted in favour of it!

She further compounds this by proposing the motion to support the planning application at the district council planning meeting.

As leader of the town council she attempted to force through town council approval for housing on the Kidderminster Road, when she knew full well that the revised plans had not come back to the town council planning committee as required by statute.

We also have the wife of Councillor Terry Spencer waxing lyrical over the achievements of the council and criticising Action for Droitwich for not making any positive proposals. What, for heaven's sake, was the parish poll all about?

Further, if she is going to make such statements, I suggest she attend council meetings. Had she done so she would have been familiar with the Action for Droitwich paper The Way Forward.

The one councillor who consistently keeps his head down is Councillor Don Lawley. It is he who has manipulated these contentious planning applications through the committee during the past 12 months. Perhaps he would like to justify the reasons behind his actions. He certainly did his utmost to stifle any public input and debate at council meetings even to the extent of changing the rules of procedure (those that had stood for years) allowing his statements to be read out prior to the council meeting.

The public will soon have an opportunity to pronounce judgement on these people. Roll on May and the local elections.

F J Yardley, Action for Droitwich.
