DEAR EDITOR - I attended the recent meeting in Droitwich where the application for the proposed Waitrose supermarket was on the agenda.
As a resident of Droitwich, with no political or other connections to this application, I went to the meeting to observe what I thought would be a demonstration of democracy in action.
How naive can a man be ?
I came away saddened by the demise of what I thought we Brits were most proud of - namely 'democracy.'
I shall treasure this word for a long time, as it certainly did not arise at this meeting, or perhaps matters were predetermined?
Roll on the next ballot box
