Did you know it is 25 years since we became Worcestershire County Council?
We are kicking off our Worcestershire A-Z with A for Anniversary, taking a look all the way back to 1998…..
- the Spice Girls were Christmas number 1 with Goodbye
- a pint of milk was 34p
- a loaf of bread was 52p
And Herefordshire and Worcestershire were re-established as separate counties following 24 years as Hereford and Worcester Council .
Since then the population of Worcestershire has grown from 535,300 to 609,200.
And the number of households has grown from 230,000 to 274,000.
A lot has changed in 25 years and we support more people with more services than ever before.
We will be celebrating Worcestershire from A to Z throughout December.
