THE plans for Diglis, as they've been revealed in the Evening News, show high-density apartment blocks overlooking our river.

It strikes me that such housing will be generally beyond the reach of those at the start of their lives, looking for affordable housing in Worcester.

Doesn't that mean the smart apartments will go, in the main, to people who'll move to Worcester?

Doesn't that mean more people, more commuter traffic, more congestion and more pollution, are being brought to Worcester by the development-mad?"

Can't we all see our climate is changing? Haven't we have all experienced this summer's totally exceptional torrential rain and thunderstorms?

Why do we remain silent while development-mad lunatics add more pollution, and hence global warming, to our environment as fast as the mortar can be mixed for the bricks?

How much longer do today's generation of politicians believe that they can go on charging us global warming taxes, while ignoring global warming, when it comes to chucking up hundreds of thousands of new houses every year?

I'm too old to be much affected by global warming but, for my children and grandchildren, it will be different.

They're the ones facing a future with a devastated climate.That climate includes massive rises in sea levels.

It includes the end of the Gulf Stream that moderates our climate. It includes Arctic winters.

And it includes devastating Atlantic summer storms and blistering temperatures.

Does the river Severn have to lap at the doors of the Guildhall before the development-mad see that they're building a climatic catastrophe with every brick that they lay?

N TAYLOR, Worcester.
