SIR – It was reported that Tesco has agreed to lease St Peter’s village hall in Worcester to the parish for another 10 years – far less than the 50 years it was hoped for (Worcester News, May 2).
I could not agree more with Councillor Roger Knight’s view that “it’s not really giving much back to the community”
and his belief that “a more community-focused decision” ought to have been made.
Is this what the Government’s ‘Big Society’ looks like? The country being run by big business in the interests of big business?
The Green Party wants to help build a society that is based on the needs of local communities, not big businesses more interested in profits than people.
