WEST Worcestershire MP Harriett Baldwin dropped in to a Malvern care home to talk to residents and staff.

Mrs Baldwin's visit to Storer Court in Barnards Green came as Festival Housing, which runs it, won an award for good practice from the Centre for Housing and Support.

Peter Gill of Festival said: "This award shows that Festival is committed to good practice and that we're prepared to open ourselves up to outside scrutiny."

The award was made following inspections from the Centre for Housing and Support, in which Festival's residents as well as staff were consulted.
