WHAT pathetic councils and planners we are blessed with.

Having decimated the amount of parking available in Kidderminster with ill thought-out plans for the college and new stores, it has now been decided to reduce further what little parking there was in Coventry Street by the installation of a pedestrian crossing that must have cost thousands of pounds to create.

The crossing bridges a small street at a point where traffic speeds were already low and, therefore, the ability for most normal folk to cross in safety was already there.
