The Premier Independent political party in Wyre Forest
The Wyre Forest area of north Worcestershire is the home of independent political thought - having been represented in Parliament for two terms (ten years) by the Independent M.P. Dr. Richard Taylor M.B.E.Representing Wyre Forest people
The party works at Wyre Forest District and local Town and Parish levels with Councillors on the Bewdley, Kidderminster and Stourport-on-Severn town councils.Not just a ‘Single Issue’ party
Independent Kidderminster Hospital and Health Concern is NOT just a ‘single issue’ party but a grouping of independent representatives of the people; taking on-board all manner of local problems (and solving them) and local aspirations (and aiding in their delivery). It grew out of the projected closure of Kidderminster Hospital (to which so many had contributed with fund-raising). This prompted mass protest and street parades and, ultimately, the rejection of the sitting Labour MP - a junior Minister. The party remains fundamentally concerned with the provision of health facilities and the delivery of all that results in ‘good health’ it is associated with concern for all aspects of a healthy community - education for all ages, support for the disabled and the elderly, transport, arts and entertainment, nature and the environment.
The
Autumn
prayer
schedule
issued
by
Bishop
Inge
at
Worcester
Cathedral
asks,
on
Thursday
23rd
September,
that
we
pray
for
Kidderminster
Hospital:_
for
the
staff,
patients
and
their
relatives
-
staff
who
have
really
stepped
up
during
the
pandemic
–
supporting
colleagues
and
adapting to new places and methods of work:_
for
the
challenge
of
dealing
with
a
huge
number
of
outpatients’
appointments
for
routine
treatment:_
while
retaining
a
real
sense
of
community
and
mutual support.
AMEN TO THAT
BLINK .. AND YOU MIGHT MISS IT
BE OUT AT WORK, AND YOU MOST CERTAINLY WILL
The
exhibition
of
the
suggestions
for
the
multi-million
pound
development
of
the
former
Magistrates’
Court
buildings
is
being
staged
by
architects
Burrell
Foley
Fischer
..
on
Thursday
9th
..
(yes,
..
for
one
day
only
!)
..
between
the
hours
of
3:00pm to 6:00pm
.
Which
is
fine,
if
you’re
a
“professional”
..
but
hard
to
attend
if
you’re
“just
an
ordinary working man”.
Oh,
yes.
There’s
also
the
question
of
where
it
is
being
held
..
anyone
know
where
the
‘‘Coronation Gardens
are ?
“This is my New Plan, guys !
We rob the Rich ..
And ..
We rob the Poor !!”
And
before
anyone
starts
on
the
“age
disparity”
/
“Young
vs
Old”
routine,
just remember that “the old” _
•
Have come to the end of their working lives
•
Have
neither
the
health
or
energy
to
do
extra
work
to
bolster
their
income
•
Have
contributed
to
the
health
service
and
the
“welfare
state“
throughout their lives
(even
if
the
governments
of
all
colours
of
politics
have
chosen
the
‘easy
option’
of
paying
today’s
bills
with
tomorrow’s
money
and
have
put
zero
into reserves)
•
Are
now
being
deprived
of
their
pensions
being
fully
index-linked
-
Triple
Lock
abandoned
-
at
a
time
of
increasing
inflation
cutting
into
their ability to pay their bills from fixed-income sources
•
Are
faced
with
Care
Home
bills
of
£600
per
week
(and
upwards)
or
Nursing Home
bills of
£800 per week
•
Are
left
with
a
a
Personal
Expenses
Allowance
(
PEA
)
“which
must
be
at
least
£24.90
per
week
”
-
to
lavish
on
such
trivia
as
day
trips,
feet
and
dental
care,
hairdressing;
and
luxuries
such
as
presents
for
grandchildren.
Makes
you
wonder
just
how
much
partying
in
Magaluf
and
how
many
beers
and
shots
can
be bought with all of
£24.90 - per week
?
Can the average student work that one out ?
