TO start the New Year on a positive note, may I pass on two fascinating facts for residents in the county electoral division which I represent, Malvern Trinity, which covers the northern part of Malvern (excluding Malvern Link) plus the whole of West Malvern as far as the Herefordshire borders.

County councillors are issued with statistics about their divisions from time to time and Trinity has produced two remarkable ones.

We are top of the division in the county for borrowing library books - and bottom in the county for drug-related crime.

I wish I could take credit for this happy state of affairs, but all I can do is to offer residents my congratulations on their good sense and best wishes for the year ahead.
