I WASN'T very pleased with G Priestley's recent letter when he called the genuine Droitwich people 'Lido Luddites' who are trying to protect our heritage.

What is a 'Luddite!!', 'a number of bands of mechanics who organised riots for the destruction of machinery.'

The supporters of the wonderful lido are not mechanics, nor destructive like the council. We want to keep what is left of Droitwich. If we let this go, then our town will be nothing.

Everyone will fight on.

As for the stench of stagnant water, whose fault was that? Not the people's. I like the sweet scent of roses, too, but the lovely smell of sea water would be nice too. The Brine Baths for floating, the Lido for swimming.
