  Worcester Labour Wishing You..

DAVID CANDLER
Tribute by Lord Faulkner of Worcester

The sudden and unexpected death of David Candler has come as a shock to Worcester Labour Party.

Labour County Councillors Richard Udall and Alan Amos have today met with County Transport Cabinet Member Cllr John Smith and his officers.  They raised concerns at the removal of key bus service provision in Worceste

Both Worcestershire County Council and Worcester City Council say they want to encourage people out of their cars and onto buses/bicycles/foot to travel around the city.

 

‘Drop the Bill’ campaign launched in Worcester
 
Joy Squires, Labour’s Parliamentary Candidate for Worcester, is calling on Worcester residents to support her campaign to get the Government to drop its unwanted Health and Social Care Bill. She is urging people to add their names to a respected GP’s online epetition calling on the Government to drop its plans. Over 15,000 people have already signed the petition which was launched just over a week ago. http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/22670

At our hustings meeting this afternoon, Joy Squires was selected Worcester's Labour Parliamentary Candidate.
Keep your eyes and ears peeled for the local media: Joy will be making her presence felt in the coming days, as the "JOY FOR WORCESTER" campaign commences. Joy will be measured up against our Tory MP, Robin Walker, in the years ahead, and we will need all the help we can get in order to unseat Robin Walker.
Thanks are also to Trudie McGuinness, Carol Dean and Tracy Wood, the unsuccessful candidates. All three have worked very hard in the last weeks, and all three spoke with passion and commitment today.
The future starts here, with Joy Squires as our Parliamentary Candidate.
