Do you know someone turning 100?

The Chairman of Wychavon would like congratulate residents who turn 100 locally by writing to them, in much the same way as the King does. If you know someone who is turning 100 please get in touch a month before their birthday and we'll arrange for a letter to be sent.

You can contact the Chairman's Office by post, telephone or email.
