Wyre Forest: Your guide to the General Election
In Wyre Forest, much of the debate will again centre on the NHS, as two old foes go head-to-head for the third general election in succession.
In 2010 it was Conservative Mark Garnier who beat Independent Richard Taylor by a majority of 2,643.
But Dr Taylor is a well-known in the area.
He stormed to victory in 2001 by campaigning to restore the A&E department at Kidderminster Hospital, which was closed the previous year.
Before that he was a doctor in the town for more than 20 years and will hope to press home his local ties on May 7.
Mr Garnier first challenged in 2005, but despite a huge swing to the Tories was unable to capture the seat.
With the issue of A&E at Kidderminster Hospital fading from memory, Garnier overturned the advantage in 2010.
Dr Taylor has decided to stand again, aged 80, to fight what he views as dangerous Government reforms to the NHS. Locally, he wants to see a doctor in the minor injuries unit at Kidderminster to take the load off A&E in Worcester.
He will once again be representing Independent Community and Health Concern, the party formed in Kidderminster which holds seven seats on the district council.
If elected to Parliament, he would team up with anyone else elected under the banner of the National Health Action Party – including Karen Howell standing in Stafford.
But that is a big if.
The Conservatives have plenty of support in the area.
Earlier in the year, Mark Garnier launched a Bill in the House of Commons as part of his campaign to crackdown on high fuel prices in rural areas.
The bill proposed giving powers to the Competition and Market's Authority (CMA) to investigate and 'iron out' price discrepancies between cities and rural towns, on motorways, and between petrol and diesel. No doubt this will have struck a chord with many voters.
Labour has put forward Matthew Lamb, who says Miliband's party would save the NHS and tackle the cost of living if it formed the next government.
The 43-year-old grew up in the area and has experience as the district councillor for the St John ward in Worcester.
And since May 2013 he has been the cabinet member for 'Cleaner and Greener' on Worcester City Council.
Wyre Forest District Councillor Michael Wrench is standing for UKIP.
The party has been campaigning hard but it is an area where they have previously found it difficult to secure support.
Other candidates here are Andrew Crick of the Liberal Democrats and Natalie McVey of the Green party.
A hold for the Conservatives here would be a good result and reflect continuing support for their economic plan.
