LABOUR will be betting on Warndon to remain red when voters go to the polls next week. The two-member ward is home to city mayor and Labour’s long-standing councillor Jo Hodges and Ceri Stalker who is seeking re-election after first winning in 2018 – 241 votes ahead of the nearest Conservative candidate. Ceri Stalker is also running for re-election in the Gorse Hill and Warndon division on Worcestershire County Council. Results in Warndon at the last five city council elections show Labour picking up 53 per cent, 54 per cent and 40 per cent. Even Alan Amos picked up 75 per cent of the vote, as a Labour councillor at the time, in 2012.

TO mark International Women’s Day today we have spoken to inspirational women in the city. Councillor Ceri Stalker is the women’s officer for Worcester Labour Party, and has been on the county council for four years and the city council for three. She said: “It’s sad that this year we can’t celebrate the day as much, but it’s still important. “Girls need good role models, and not only female role models because people look up to people who they aspire to be like themselves. “At the moment part of being the women’s officer is to keep morale up and get everyone to work together and to keep women’s profiles raised where we can, and just to have that sisterly feeling because some women don’t have a sister or their mums with them so I am somebody people can talk to.”
