Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust is an NHS trust which runs three hospitals in Worcestershire, England: The Alexandra Hospital, Redditch, Kidderminster Hospital and Treatment Centre in Kidderminster, Evesham hospital Burlingham ward in Evesham and the Worcestershire Royal Hospital in Worcester. Services in Kidderminster and Redditch have been under threat for many years. Proposals to downgrade Kidderminster hospital provoked the establishment of Independent Community and Health Concern. Their candidate Dr Richard Taylor defeated David Lock the sitting Labour MP in the 2001 General Election. The building of the new Treatment Centre, in Kidderminster was handled by
Evesham local government by Evesham Town Council, part of the Wychavon District of the County of Worcestershire. Residents in the six council electoral wards are represented by 24 elected members. The wards, based on streets, are represented by elected councillors: Avon (3), Bengworth (5), Great Hampton (3), Little Hampton (5), South (5), Twyford (3). The council is chaired by a mayor, and has a Town Clerk who acts as chief officer. Evesham is situated on a horse shoe shaped peninsula almost completely surrounded by water in a meander of the River Avon between Stratford-on-Avon and Tewkesbury. The modern town encompasses Bengeworth
