THE battle for one of three places representing the city’s Cathedral ward on Worcester City Council always proves to be interesting with tightly fought contests and narrow victories happening here more than possibly anywhere else in the city. The city’s biggest ward, which covers the city centre all the way to Diglis, means it is an important seat for the council’s two biggest parties. Covering the city centre means the ward has a long list of issues which the coronavirus pandemic will have done nothing but intensified and how the city, and especially the city centre, recovers from lockdown will be of utmost importance here.

Do you have a relative or neighbour that you worry about? What could you do to make life easier for them? We started Worcester Dementia Action Alliance in 2016 to help make Worcester more dementia friendly. The network of agencies, businesses and volunteers has continued to meet and grow since. We have learnt how to become Dementia Friends and created more dementia friendly environments and services.
