Sir - With reference to allegations of "lies", I can do no more than refer your readers to the City Council Cabinet Agenda of 9th December 2014 which reads

"For the purpose of investigating a potential outsourcing it is proposed that the scope be as follows:

Waste, Recycling and Garden Waste Collection; Neighbourhood Cleansing, including Sweeping and Graffiti; Grounds Maintenance; Tree Maintenance; Trade Waste; Fleet Management; Emergency/Severe Weather Response; PARKS (my capitals); Play Areas; Sports Pitches; Staff Management; Skips; Contract Works; Events - Worcester Show; Community Work; Allotment Management; Sports pitch bookings; Billing and Invoicing; Supplies and Services."

Fairly clear and comprehensive I am sure readers would agree. And worrying.
