Wyre Forest is not a name well-known to most residents of the UK. In fact, this seat comprises the north-west corner of Worcestershire. Its largest town is Kidderminster, a familiar name, and it seems a pity that the seat was not called after it - it once was. The Tories hold the seat, but they are not rock-solid in Wyre Forest - there are numbers of working-class voters who cleave to the other two parties. Labour won the Kidderminster seat once, but that was in 1945 - the party would require an unlikely 8 per cent swing to take it now. Conservative MP Anthony Coombs may be irritated by the loss of some of his majority due to boundary changes, but he should be fairly confident of holding on here.
