  • Employment Land Review
    Employment Land Review Update – April 2011 Wyre Forest District Council Executive Summary In order to assist the preparation of the Local Development Framework, and the site specific Development Plan Documents that are currently being prepared; the Council has updated its Employment Land Review, which was last produced in 2007-2008. This study provides an update on the existing situation with regard to planning for employment land and economic development within the District, following the adoption of the Council’s Core Strategy. It also includes and updated review of the policy context identifying key drivers at national, regional and local level, specifically the publication of PPS4, which post dates the original study. The key rationale behind the update is to ensure that a refreshed look at the sites is undertaken prior to the allocation of land through the Development Plan process, taking into account the slight shift in policy. There have been a number of changes regarding a few of the sites since the first Employment Land Review was undertaken. However, a large number of the sites that were analysed in the previous review still retained the same recommendations. This study is not split into three stages like the previous Review; instead the document is as one, with the second stage of the review not being re-assessed. This is because the second stage of the previous review was primarily based around need for new floorspace and forecasting; given the long time frame in which forecasting is done, taking into account economic cycles, it was considered inappropriate to revisit this exercise so soon after it had been completed.

Home Choice Plus has been developed by a number of Local Authorities and Housing Associations working in partnership. Home Choice Plus is a way of allocating housing and advertising other housing options across the participating Local Authority areas. (Home Choice Plus will also be used for advertising other housing options such as private rents and intermediate rents). This booklet explains how to look for housing across all of the Districts involved in this scheme. Please see website for further information. Who is eligible to join the Home Choice Plus register? • Some people travelling to the United Kingdom are not entitled to Housing Association accommodation on the basis of their immigration status. • You may be excluded if you have a history of serious rent arrears or anti social behaviour.

  • Ribbesford Meadows Teams
    Date: 05.02.2019 Ground: 81 Match: 23 (2018/2019 season) Venue: Ribbesford Meadows Teams: Bewdley Town V Smethwick Rangers Competition: West Midlands Regional League Premier Division Admission: £3 Final Score: 5-0 (H/T 3-0) Referee: Not Known Attendance: 22 (Head Count) Mileage to venue and return: 41.2 Miles Programme: £1 Introduction This game was the third time in a row that I had attempted to take in a midweek game of football. Two weeks ago, I arrived at the Aspray Arena to watch Dudley Town V Black Country Rangers, but the snow came down with force and the game was postponed with around half hour to go too kick off. Last Tuesday I had planned to visit Wellbeing Park for the ‘El Stonio’ between Stone Dominoes V Stone Old Alleynians, but that was postponed earlier in the day due to more bad weather. So, it goes without saying that I was very pleased to see an improvement in the weather and for this game at Ribbesford Meadows to go ahead. As this was a midweek match, I went straight to the venue directly from my place of work in Atcham, Shropshire. My route from work took me the usual way home too Much Wenlock but instead of turning right in Much Wenlock and towards my, HQ in South Shropshire I travelled towards the Shropshire Village of Morville. From Morville I travelled through more Shropshire Villages – Glazeley, Billingsley and Button Oak to name but a few before arriving in Bewdley. As is my usual practise, I found the location of the ground which is located in the Village of Ribbesford, 1.3 miles from Bewdley.
