A charity that encourages young people to learn road safety before they can drive has been invited to run sessions in Telford, Hereford and Worcester.

Quote MessageAround a third of the crashes on our roads involve young drivers. This is clearly too high and needs a new approach. Pathfinder has shown the improvements that can be made and I'm pleased to be extending the project in Herefordshire, Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and Worcestershire."
John Campion, West Mercia Police and Crime Commissioner
Rail passengers hoping to travel on certain services between Bromsgrove and Birmingham this week face being transported on buses instead.
London Midland is warning people that the Easter break is causing an increase in passenger numbers, and some mid morning services are already full when they arrive at the town.
London Midland says there aren't enough diesel trains left in the country to meet demand, and that providing buses instead is "the right thing to do".
Quote MessageThe good news is that next year the line will be electrified and three extra trains an hour will run on the route."

I've been to meet the new chief executive running the hospitals in Worcestershire, Michelle McKay, as she gets to grip with turning around a trust that's been in special measures since 2015.
She told me she was "optimistic about how we can move forward with the trust".
She has made recruitment of staff a priority for turning things around, and predicts people will notice the difference within six months.
