‘Drawing Inspiration’… A Regeneration Prospectus

The Prospectus aims to highlight the town’s challenges and opportunities to a wide audience from within and outside the area in order to attract support and investment to transform the fortunes of the town… to deliver a renaissance.

It is an ambitious 30 year vision for the future containing projects and initiatives that will be delivered in the short, medium, and long term timescales. It provides a bigger, strategic picture for the town’s development and looks to bring the right people together to make projects happen.

The Prospectus identifies 4 key themes that apply across the whole town:

1. Transport – creating a highly accessible town
2. Jobs – creating an entrepreneurial and business friendly town 
3. Homes and Communities – delivering affordable homes and stronger communities
4. Design and Environmental Quality – a town that capitalises on its natural and cultural assets

Efforts to address these themes will focus on four main Action Areas which present the majority of the strategic development opportunities. These areas are:

1. Town Centre – creating a vibrant, mixed-used centre
2. Comberton Hill – making an attractive gateway to the town
3. Churchfields – establishing a mixed-use urban village
4. Former British Sugar Factor (‘The Beet’) – South Kidderminster Business and Nature Park
