WHAT a good idea to turn Priors Croft into a hotel! Would it be too much to ask Malvern Town Council and Malvern Hills District Council to help rather than hinder plans to be passed to rejuvenate this attractive but rather tired Edwardian building?

Perhaps councillors should have done more research into the project before denigrating such an imaginative idea, in this case, on, which would provide some employment and supplement the bar and refreshments of the Theatre.

Surely some form of grant would be in order to expedite this project rather than the directing of petty dismissive criticism, bearing in mind the amount of money being spent on the former Manders Chemist building!
