Long serving Wyre Forest councillor and past mayor of Kidderminster, Fran Oborski (backed by Health Concern's Richard Taylor) is fighting flat out to take Hurcott for the Liberals.

Fran's priorities are:

Restoring accident and emergency and acute services at Kidderminster Hospital.

Preventing any ongoing attempt to site an incinerator at Kidderminster.

Increased Government funding for local schools to bring us up to the funding level of other counties.

Decent services for the elderly, sick and disadvantaged.

More police "on the beat" - tackling crime, vandalism, nuisance and drug abuse.

Getting potholes filled, roads resurfaced and traffic-calming where it is needed.

The "clean-up" campaign to tackle litter, mess and dog fouling.

High quality Horsefair and town centre redevelopment with a cinema for Kidderminster.

Better bus services and improved rail links.

Opposing Labour plans for industrial development east of Kidderminster.
