| Police Mergers |
|
58% are against the proposed police mergers in England......... Tony Blair has stood three times at the Dispatch Box in Westminster and stated his Government will listen to the people on changes to the Police Service. Well, we will have to just wait see.
Read BBC report here
This all comes at a time when it has been leaked that the proposed merger would cost the tax payers some £600m across the country and that the Police Service could lose some 25,000 officers.
I think that the Police Service does need to evolve in the UK, but I fear that the current proposed changes will undo some of the progress that has been made in West Mercia.
To find out the latest releases concerning the proposed merger of West Mercia Police go to the Police Authority Web Site.

| Annual Council - WFDC |
|
Tonight was Wyre Forest District Councils annual Council meeting. The meetings main purpose is to elect a chairman and the political leadership of the Council for the current year.
I was very proud of the nomination for my fellow ward councillor, Cllr James Dudley, who was elected unanimously to be Chairman of the Council for this year. James is an excellent ward councillor and enthusiastic Cabinet Member, and he will be an exceptional Chairman.
The Conservatives were re-appointed as the minority administration for the forthcoming year, led by Cllr Clee as Leader of the Council. The Cabinet remains unchanged but has been reduced in size to five and the other Cabinet members will absorb James Dudleys’ Cabinet roles. The Councils scrutiny structure has been adjusted to bring it in line with the three Council Priorities of Service, Prosperity and Efficiency. Cllr Mike Oborski was elected to chair the Cabinet Scrutiny Committee, which is the Councils main scrutiny committee.
It was good to see the public gallery full, though I didn’t see Tavis………….
Comment:
Unfortunately I had other commitments. However, it is nice to see that the council doesn't fall apart when I'm not there J!
Kind Regards,
-Tav.-

| Saved from regionalisation |
|
It has been announced today that the Staffordshire Ambulance service has been saved (maybe only for now) from merger with the other services in the Midlands apparently mainly due to it being the best performing service in the Country.
It was good that the Govt listened to the people, and does it mean that the new Home Secretary will follow suit and save West Mercia which is the best performing force in the Country?

| The Group formerly known as..... |
|
Its all change at Independent Kidderminster Hospital & Health Concern District Group.
Out is the venerable Cllr Stokes as leader, and in is Cllr Martin (only elected a week ago to Broadwaters, after being sacked by the electorate two years ago in Franche).
Out is Independent Kidderminster Hospital & Health Concern Group name and in is Independent Health Concern ......... does that mean that they have given up on Saving Kidderminster Hospital? Perhaps I missed that press release.
The following was a comment sent by Tavis Pitt
I always find it hilarious when a party with no policies starts to take the @@@@ out of a party with one policy.
I think we will just have to put him down as a possible supporter .........

| Bus Bay |
|
Why would parents picking children up from School park in the bus bay, and force children to be loaded and unloaded onto the buses in the main road? Sounds like madness doesnt it?
Well, that is exactly what is happening outside St Johns FIRST School, Blakebrook Kidderminster. We will be in touch with the local police & Highways to see what can be done to deter these selfish motorists.
