Our Vision: Community Empowerment and Income Deprivation
Our neighbourhoods are regenerated and residents are community spirited and actively
engaged in shaping services. Kidderminster town centre is attractive and accessible, inspiring community pride. The unique public realm of Stourport on Severn is
enhanced through the restoration of the canal basins and the regeneration of Bridge
Street, and Bewdley remains a thriving market town whose historic character is preserved and its
flourishing riverside environment enhanced. Everyone has enough to sustain a
good quality lifestyle.
