I HAVE just read in the Evening News that Worcester City Council is about to receive a substantial grant amounting to thousands of pounds.

It intends to blow the lot on improving High Street and the Deansway junction.

Why? There's nothing wrong with High Street that won't keep, and the problem at Deansway is the fault of drivers, not the road layout.

I'd have thought its priorities would have been to improve some main roads in the city. Bilford Road and Brickfields Road spring to mind.

Regarding the Deansway junction, I don't remember ever seeing any accidents reported in your paper.

I think it's a case of look after the tourists, who only visit the city at certain times of the year.

The opinions of local people have never been considered in this city.
