A PUNK rock band has been campaigning in support of a Redditch councillor who recently resigned as a member of the local Conservative group. Political punk band Chaos Experience are backing independent councillor Juliet Brunner ahead of the county council elections next month - and have even released a song in support of her. Councillor Brunner resigned the whip to become independent after she was not selected as a Conservative candidate to defend her Arrow Valley East. Singer Steve Pound, aged 47, says he approves of her green ideas as well as her stance against Redditch Borough Council’s plans to turn Ipsley Meadow into a cemetery.

MORE than 700 people have now objected to a controversial plan to turn the Ipsley Meadow site in Redditch into a cemetery. The plan highlights that “space for burial is diminishing in the borough” and the cemetery could provide enough land for between 60 and 70 years of use. But some Redditch residents fear it would be a loss to the Ipsley community, as the land is used for recreational purposes. Others are fearful of the impact on wildlife and feel the land should be left untouched. Now, Redditch Labour candidates Andrew Bevan for Matchborough, Sharon Harvey for Winyates and Joanna Kane for Lodge Park, are backing campaigners in their fight to keep the meadow as a recreational green space.
