Town Centre Management

The Association of Town Centre Management defines Centre Management is a co-ordinated pro-active initiative designed to ensure that our towns are desirable and attractive places.

Kidderminster Town Centre Partnership, Stourport On Severn Town Centre Forum and Bewdley Town Centre Management Forum were created to:

• Set the broad direction of a town centre initiative taking into account the needs of town centre customers, workers, residents, visitors, businesses and property owners.
• Serve as a Forum for all partners to communicate and consult with each other and co-ordinate their activities so as to realise their shared aspirations for the town centre.
• Co-ordinate the activities of the various town centre service providers and those responsible for meeting their needs of town centre users.
• Foster a customer care philosophy amongst all providers of town centre services.
• Promote improvements to and further development of the appearance, function, facilities, buildings and amenities of the town centre.
• Develop a Marketing and Promotional Strategy for the town centre.
• Prepare and agree an Action Programme/Strategy for the town centre in accordance with approved policies of the Local Authority as appropriate.
• Seek funding opportunities for the implementation and furtherance of the resultant town centre action programme/strategy.
  

Stourport-on-Severn and Bewdley Forums work is now part of Stourport Forward and Bewdley Development Trust respectively.
