Some of which are awful, several of which are awfully named but will be fairly interesting.

I suspect at the end of it all, the Tories will keep control or have a deal with the local Condependents but they will take losses but they should do OK in Wyre Forest and Wychavon.

Bromsgrove and Worcester will be interesting.

Reform probably has its best chances in Redd Itch.

Most of them look OK. Harvington going into the centre of Evesham is odd and you'd think could have been avoided and the Riverside division of Worcester looks a bit rum.

It's about the worst. Ombersley & Bowbrook are bad. The Bewdley situation I understand but isn't ideal, Bewdley and Wribbenhall really should be together, but its not easy and the locals hate the idea. I think Powick and Longdon and Croome would have been better as a North South split but I'll admit my knowledge of down that way is weak these days.

My home village of Bricklehampton has been split from the parish council it shares with Netherton and Elmley Castle, presumably to allow Wick to be joined to Cropthorne etc.
