TAXPAYERS are being encouraged to speak up on what makes them glad, sad or mad about the Spa and its services.

Wychavon District Council has teamed up with Worcestershire County and Droitwich Spa Town Councils to host a householders' forum on Tuesday, March 11.

Hosted by BBC Hereford and Worcester radio presenter Mike George, townsfolk will be able to fire questions at council officers, health officials and key spa decision-makers.

They hope to set the record straight on the future of the town and its surrounding villages.

Debate

Public transport, young people, schools and crime will be up for debate at the community centre, in Heritage Way, from 6.45pm.

Organiser and Wychavon community planning officer Robin Mace said similar events which have already taken place in Evesham and Pershore have been a success.

"Now it's Droitwich Spa's turn to have its say on community issues," he told the Advertiser.

"More importantly the words will not fall on deaf ears. Points raised at the forum will be used as part of our Community Plan to improve the quality of life in the district," Mr Mace added.
