ST JOHN S has been one of the safest seats for the Labour Party on Worcestershire County Council for some time now with Richard Udall representing the division for decades. The St John s stalwart has seen victory after victory in the division and was re-elected with 57 per cent of the vote in 2017 - more than 500 votes ahead of the Conservatives. He was also last elected to the city council to represent St John s in 2019 finishing 630 votes ahead of the Conservatives - picking up 57 per cent of the vote. Owen Cleary, the former chairman of UKIP Worcester, is now standing for the Conservatives in the division.

Five railway arches located between Worcester Foregate Street and the Hive will be refurbished and converted into studios and workspaces for local artists and creative businesses. The work is expected to be finished in early 2022. The Arches project, headed up by the Worcester Cultural Partnership – comprised of Worcester City Council, the University of Worcester, Severn Arts, The Arch Company and Worcestershire County Council – aims to transform the area into a modern workplace for creative industries and a cultural destination for tourists and local communities.
LABOUR is hoping to keep its strong grip on the city’s Nunnery ward in next month’s local elections - an area that has been a stronghold for the party in the last decade. Other parties standing in Nunnery with the hope of prising the large and leafy division out of the control of the Labour Party may have their work cut out in what has proved to be an area of success for the people in red in recent years. Nunnery has been represented by three Labour councillors on Worcester City Council since 2010 with the party’s candidates winning comfortably on several occasions.
