Ken Carpenter
Ken was educated at Cambridge and joined RSRE in 1987, where he worked on an airborne collision avoidance system that is now carried on nearly all passenger aircraft. He was a Malvern Hills District Councillor for eight years and a Worcester City Councillor for four years.
He married Sue when he moved to Worcester in 2005. He knows politicians evade; and hopes he does not. Since the NHS and social care are not City Council responsibilities, Ken’s priorities for this election are to encourage Worcester to develop as a vibrant and community focused city, with clean air, green spaces, and a green economy based on local skills.
Public transport should be attractive, frequent and stitched together. The Council needs to prepare for further climate change and carbon neutrality. Most topically, we need a realistic and comprehensive plan to provide travellers’ sites that excludes unsuitable locations such as the Ketch Field.
