WARNDON Parish South is the second ward in Warndon villages, next to sister ward Warndon Parish North.

A long-term concern of residents in the ward is speeding motorists who take advantage of some of the long, winding Warndon roads.

Local councillors still receive reports of speeding along Woodgreen Drive, despite mobile cameras being used there.

The ward made headlines almost as soon as the 2006 elections had finished, when Tolladine Golf Club closed after racking up £125,000 of debts.

The club, which was first established in 1898, had seen membership dwindle from more than 100 to about 25 by the time that the shutters went up.

The club tried to save itself by asking members for £500 each , but when the six-figure debt became public knowledge, the decision was taken to close it.

Following the demise of the club, dozens of former club members contacted the Worcester News to share their fond memories of it over the decades.

The ward welcomed one of only two new councillors from the local elections last year, when Coun Andy Roberts, of the Conservative Party, grabbed a seat.

The other councillor in Warndon Parish South is Tory member Coun Lucy Hodgson, who is up for re-election this year.

CANDIDATES:LUCY HOSGSONLUCY Hodgson says she is making good progress through co-operation between the city and parish councils, Lyppard Grange Community Centre and residents.

A start has been made on dealing with troublesome parking, enhanced landscaping and securing money to improve children's play areas, including Great Oaty Gardens. She has also worked with police and young people to reduce anti-social behaviour and is continuing to battle litter.

She says she will ensure residents are consulted and involved with residential, retail and commercial planning proposals, and will seek to keep council tax low.

DAVID INSULLDAVID Insull lives and works in Worcester and runs a tax consultancy company.

He believes that his specialist knowledge of finances will make him a much-needed useful addition to the council.

In his spare time Mr Insull enjoys cooking and playing his guitar.

He believes residents' views should be listened to, and if elected he would consult them regularly.

He would also make sure mobile phone companies could no longer force their will on local people.

OLAF TWIEHAUSOLAF Twiehaus is 35 years old and lives and works in Worcester. From Germany, he has seen the Green Party's influence grow substantially over the past 20 years.
