This is the new West
Mercia Police contact telephone number, replacing previous 0845
numbers.
Malvern Hills District Council report a new telephone scam in which fraudsters have been calling residents in Malvern Hills, Worcester and Wychavon areas asking for bank details and Pin numbers, telling people they are entitled to a council tax refund. Jean Mann, Revenues Manager for South Worcestershire said
The two little words which, in the countryside, strike FEAR (if you're a local councillor) and LOATHING (if you're a villager who might have your rustic tranquility disturbed) into local politics. Our neighbours in CLENT are "up in arms" fighting the “ludicrous” plans of West Mercia Housing Group and Clent Parish Council to build affordable homes on a village beauty spot. Angry villagers say the woodland site, known locally as ‘The Pleck’ - a home to badgers, grass snakes, hedgehogs, bats, owls, as well as buzzards and other smaller birds, and which also has a tree preservation order on it - for the proposed development off Holy Cross Lane, is in a conservation area and should be protected - not turned into a housing estate. Their fight mirrors that in Chaddesley Corbett where the Parish Council (elected to oppose the plans of the previous council in favour of Affordable Housing) now find themselves in the position of implementing plans FOR a housing scheme. The clock on this time-bomb finishes ticking on August 2nd .. when their 'working Group' is due to make their recommendations for the location of said "ludicrous plans".
After Thursday's by-election on Wolverhampton City Council, Labour's Linda Leach took the Bilston North seat of former Conservative councillor Gillian Fellows (deceased) - giving Labour 30 seats - the same number as the Tories and Lib Dems jointly - and leaving Mayor (Lib Dem councillor) Malcolm Gwinett with the casting vote in any tied decisions.

Three
people have been jailed for bribery and money laundering
involving £1.3m of public money belonging to the Learning
and Skills Council (LSC) - Britain's biggest quango. Paul
Kent West
Mercia Police and the Serious Fraud Office launched an investigation in July 2006 after
being alerted by a whistleblower to corrupt contract tendering. Paul Kent had lied on his CV (2003) to obtain a senior job at the LSC in Shropshire to be responsible for soliciting and evaluating tenders. He
encouraged Rebecca Hoyle,
who pleaded guilty to three counts of corruption, (an old school-friend) who was a self employed graphic designer trading as "DesignBarn"
(and training-provider), to apply
for contracts through her business. She then paid Kent £29,000 from £94,000-worth
of contracts she received from the LSC. Kent
also received corrupt payments from Silinder
Singh Sidhu,
who admitted two counts of
corruption and was found guilty of two more after a trial, and who worked with him at the LSC in 2003. Sidhu
later resigned to become a paid consultant to the LSC, making £80,000
of corrupt payments to Kent for £266,000 of work. Also
jailed was John
Stuart Ford, who pleaded guilty to five counts of making
corrupt payments, and was sentenced to two years. Sarah
Kent (formerly
Sarah Emberton), who was Internal Funding Manager for SLSC, admitted
money laundering, and will be sentenced at a later date. The
Learning and Skills Council was set up to fund and plan education for Over-16s. Dr. Taylor tells Worcestershire Men ..
Local ICHC MP Dr. Richard Taylor has added his support to a campaign highlighting a prostate problem affecting more than a third of men aged over 50. At a parliamentary reception held by Prostate
UK to raise awareness of Dr. Taylor joined with Amanda McLean,
chief executive of 'Prostate UK' to deliver the message that_ The campaign has two key objectives.
Some 34,000 men in Worcestershire (and 3.2 million men nationwaide) suffer in silence from the symptoms of frequent night-time waking to pass urine, running to the toilet, incontinence and difficulty in urinating. Effective treatments are available but many men fail to seek medical advice. Untreated BPH can lead to an increased risk of serious (and expensive) long-term complications such as acute urinary retention (AUR), kidney and bladder conditions, hospitalisation and surgery. Welcome to
the web-site Just as the Tories form the 'Opposition' at Westminster, our 'Independent Community and Health Concern' party provide people in the Wyre Forest with a voice to question Tory tactics and provide coherent alternative proposals. At the County Elections the Conservative
Party candidates received 12,500 votes. 'Independent
Community and Health Concern' received some All
other parties combined received some 6,000 votes. Ours, therefore, is the Party to which people look to provide balance, scrutiny, and sensible alternative policy. [And boy .. do they get it !_Ed]
