SIR – We are less than two months away from a general election and in Worcestershire most political parties have declared their candidates, except the Lib Dems in Worcester and Labour in West Worcestershire.
My party, the Conservatives, selected Robin Walker in 2006, and since then he has spent his weekends visiting residents and organisations in the constituency he hopes to represent. What chance does the Lib Dem candidate have of getting to know Worcester? This is a party with three city council seats and a county seat in Worcester and are the main opposition at County Hall.
Why won’t Labour tell their voters in West Worcestershire who their candidate is, unless they have given up on an area in which they hold no council seats?
If they want to be taken seriously at the election they need to announce their candidates now.
Coun Stephen Hodgson
Worcester
