THIS year's elections have brought success for Health Concern in a different area of the political arena.

The party has swept into power on Bewdley Town Council after eight of its candidates were elected to the 12-member body.

It comes as another huge boost for Health Concern, which is already represented in Parliament, and Worcestershire County Council and is now the controlling party on Wyre Forest District Council.
