BreakingRedditch MP Karen Lumley to step down
Redditch MP Karen Lumley is to step down at the next election due to ill health, she has announced.
The Conservative had an operation in October and suffered a relapse at the beginning of the year, which forced her to stay away from Westminster.
In a statement, she said it had been a "huge
honour" to represent the town that had been her home for the last 20 years and was "immensely
grateful" to all those she had met during that time.

First West Mercia officers get body cameras
A £1m investment in body-worn video cameras for West Mercia officers will help victims, prevent crimes and reduce complaints against police, John Campion, crime commissioner says.
Forty six officers in Malvern were the first to get the new kit earlier this month, with colleagues in Telford next before the remainder of the force.
Mr Campion said he'd seen them in use and expects the cameras - first introduced to police a decade ago - to provide increased transparency and reassure the public.
Complaints by members of the public against 2,000 officers across four UK forces and two US police departments, fell by 93% over 12 months compared with the year before.

Has Hereford got what it takes to be the UK's City of Culture?
It's deadline time to put in a pitch to be the 2021 City of Culture - and Hereford is one of 11 contenders.
The council says it would put on a year-long party of "amazing events and festivals in our communities for everyone to access", and would ensure every town, village and hamlet is included in its plans.
But are the county's rolling hills and abundant hedgerows making it stand out against other cities for the wrong or the right reasons?
There's also be more on tonight's Midlands Today at 18:30 with Abigail Appleton, a member of the bid team, and representatives from other cities taking part.
