Kidderminster...be part of it

Taking nature to heartTaking nature to heart

THE river Stour, which runs through Kidderminster, was lost beneath bricks and mortar following years of intensive carpet manufacturing when it was used as a water source to wash and dye.

Posted by Michael Grassi, Kidderminster: My suggestions: 1. Comberton Hill - Town gateway' Remove the Comberton Hill island and replace it with a flyover, giving direct access from Comberton Hill to the town (with the ringroad going underneath) and link the station to the town hall with a tram (San Francisco style!) 2. Make Tesco create a new access across the canal from Park Lane and pedestrianise the area from the Tesco petrol station right up to the town hall, including the existing bus station (see point 4) thus creating an open green space behind the college, library and bus station, using the river frontage to its full potential.

All the proposals for the regeneration of Kidderminster I'm sure will advance the town both structurally and economically.

ALTHOUGH during the 1940s Kidderminster missed being a target for the Luftwaffe, from the air I imagine all the current islands and craters would tell another story.

KIDDERMINSTER has many features that give the town its identity. These include the people and the core businesses but also iconic images such as prominent buildings and structures, local tourist attractions and historical figures.

Posted by ChrisM, Kidderminster: I think Kidderminster town centre should keep all of the old (pre-1960) buildings, but most of the 60s and 70s buildings should be replaced or face-lifted as they're simply so ugly and out of place.
