Sir – Ken Pollock (Worcester News, August 11) claims that over the years the accusation that MP’s and councillors conspired to stop the completion of the northern link is “fanciful”.

From my time as a county councillor I know that Ken Pollock is a diligent and hard-working cabinet member.

However, with the greatest of respect, those of us who been on the local political scene for far longer than he has know full well that what he claims is just not the case. The whole of Worcester is now reaping the whirlwind.
