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.
