Council blasted over plans to blow £100,000 on WALKING and CYCLING guru
Worcester City Council is advertising for an Active Travel Officer to encourage commuters and drivers to ditch cars and buses in order to help the environment.
But residents have accused town hall chiefs of wasting public funds on “woke rubbish” while council tax has been raised by as much as £10.
Business owner Angie Williams, 40, fumed: “How dare the council waste money on someone to teach us how to walk.
“I think most people would walk of cycle if they could but for most people the car is the only way to get around.
“How can I do the weekly shop if I go on my bike?
“It’s very patronising to be told that walking and cycling is better than the car. Of course it is but sometimes you have no choice.”
Resident Graham Crane, 50, added: “It’s yet more woke rubbish that comes from a council desperate to be seen to be going green.
“How about spending the money getting road repairs done more quickly to reduce traffic jams?
“It’s no good everyone walking and cycling if they have to do it next to a line of cars belching fumes out everywhere.”
