SIR – So the good people at Wychavon leisure have rolled out the old chestnut that its blaming the elements for lack of numbers at the Droitwich lido this year.

If these people had got away from this romantic notion of long hot summers in this green and pleasant land of ours and had built a covered facility that would have been patronised all year round in the first place, this would not be an issue.

I fear the alarm bells are already beginning to ring for this facility.

P HAUGHTY,

Droitwich
