Congratulations to our new County Councillors – Peter Balaam, Ron Cockings and Kate Rolfe in Stratford and Martin Barry in Studley. Congratulations too to Peter Barnes on holding hid Bidford seat, and commiserations to Nina Knapman who lost in Alcester. She will be greatly missed as a hard-working Councillor.
Can it be coincidence that the news this week is that Alcester Hospital is to close in September? Nina has been a constant thorn in the side of the Primary Care Trust, pushing for the retention of hospital services in Alcester.
Now that the Conservatives have overall control in Warwickshire, prepare to see cuts in public services and job losses, and more increases in costs. They have already imposed charges for the use of library computers and increased charges for those bits of the care services which they have not already privatised.
