SIR – Recent announcements regarding the County FA’s move move to Claines Lane and subsequent development of an all-weather football pitch with

floodlights, serving multiple community football teams; plus planning permission now granted to Worcester City FC to seek to develop a 4,000-capacity stadium at Perdiswell, also with floodlights, will no doubt be welcomed by players and fans of football.

There are also rumours that RGS and Worcester Hockey Club are seeking to develop two further all-weather hockey pitches in the Perdiswell area, also with

floodlights.

If all this goes ahead, Perdiswell will no longer be considered a ‘green space’ having been carpeted over and visible from outer space with all those lights glaring.
