THE cynical campaign of misinformation, disinformation and the allegations of Tory u-turns and worse by some of your correspondents does them no credit.

We remain committed to encouraging development on brownfield sits rather than on greenfield sites.

We are working hard to get a practical budget approved, which will be beneficial to as many citizens as possible.

We are on track for a cleaner Worcester. Effort is being put into graffiti and gum removal, and street washing in some city centre locations is to start later this year.

COUNCILLOR ROBERT ROWDEN,

Leader, Worcester City Council.
