WORCESTER'S St Barnabas ward is represented by David Barlow, Adrian Gregson and Paul Denham.

In the May elections, of the 4,232 eligible voters, less than 550 people voted Denham-New Labour. At 19.5 per cent, it was again the city's lowest turnout.

It means each councillor has only to respond to the welfare of approximately 184 supporters each. No overload there.

Perhaps Paul Denham could do well to spend more time in his own ward and less in the St John's Ward.
