I THINK it's fair to say that the residents of Malvern are bone weary of fending off unscrupulous developments from those who use land banking practices, those taking advantage of the mess that is the South Worcestershire Development Plan (SWDP), and even our esteemed councillors who have tried to abuse their positions.

So it is with gratitude that I thank all those who have signed the e-petition on the HM Government website.

At 4pm on the day of closing, 580 had signed to oppose the cable car, compared with 141 in favour.

It is a ratio of three to one, despite all the publicity Malvern For All have received week after week.

I for one do not want my council tax wasted on this group pushing the bureaucratic process to its limits. So perhaps the council could follow the example of the Conservators and reject any approaches by a group which proudly has "one of its own" as a director?
