Sir - The comments attributed to a youth worker on your front page 29th September do not reflect the views of the Worcester Community Trust (WCT).

The Trust is well aware of the severe financial pressures that are affecting Worcestershire County Council.

WCT remains committed to working closely with leading councillors, Cabinet members and officers to ensure that the highest levels of youth services are delivered across Worcester.

WCT is exploring a range of options, with the assistance and support of the County Council, to prepare for any changes to the youth contract that it currently delivers.

Simon Murphy,

Interim Chief Officer, Worcester Community Trust
