DEAR EDITOR - The public are not gullible and are fully aware of the power, influence, position and personal advancement eagerly sought by our so-called representative councillors of Wychavon and Droitwich.

They refuse a supermarket development off Salwarpe Way when, judging by the results of the ballot, it was the preferred public option. New housing is proposed on the same site.

Now we are told that Wychavon District Council propose funding a supermarket to replace Droitwich Indoor Market, despite the fact that there is a former supermarket standing empty and presumably immediately available within the central precincts of the town.

Coincidental - or not?

C A Fletcher,

Witton Avenue, Droitwich Spa.
