Cathedral Ward Worcester City

Things that annoy me & I suspect the British people as a whole include; People talking without hands free on mobile phones whilst driving, Persistent Chuggers, dog owners that don't clean up after their dog, foreign call centres & people that park in disabled bays when they're not disabled.Most of all and rapidly rising up that  list must be utility/road works that seem to go on for ever? I know most cities are blighted by this predicament up and down the country on an almost never ending basis, but add into the mix the lack of a ring road, a city dissected by a temperamental river & numerous one way streets/systems you have the recipe to make peoples commute a little less pleasant in the Faithful City.

I am bitterly disappointed at not getting the HLF bid, however am now optimistic that the original plans of improving the play area and the entrance to the park will now get done quicker something the residents have always wanted as a key priority. Worcester Standard Article AMBITIOUS plans to breathe new life into an historic city park have suffered a setback after it emerged the project had failed in its bid to secure £1million in lottery funding. Worcester City Council had hoped to win the backing of the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) to help cover the cost of a major overhaul of Fort Royal Park on Wylds Lane which stands on one of the key sites of the English Civil War. But the council and its partners were disappointed to discover the bid had failed and they must now decide what parts of the project can still be pursued. The council has already pledged £200,000 from its own budget towards improvements to the park to help celebrate its great historical significa...
