The Festival has been running across the district for 57 years and for 2017 the programme will focus more on arts and cultural activity and will boast a full range of music, theatre, dance, visual arts and educational activities. The trustees have also placed more emphasis on free community arts activities, for example by introducing new free events such as REFRESHRubery in the village centre and a Bite Sized Classics concert at St Andrew’s Church in Charford. And as always the major part of the Festival programme comprises events that are promoted and organised by local societies, clubs and other organisations whose support is never-waning and extremely valuable. This year’s Festival will be building on the feedback from the 2016 event when an independent survey and impact assessment by Tiller Research showed significant benefits for the Bromsgrove District and increased audience participation. Graham Mackenzie, Chair of Bromsgrove Festival Limited, said: “The 2016 Festival was judged a great success. Feedback from event organisers who saw increased attendances and audience members was almost unanimously positive. "So, despite reduced funding, the Festival Committee has had no hesitation in organising the 2017 Festival in the same wide ranging, high quality community-based style. "We also hope by reaching out across the district we will encourage greater participation in Festival activities in areas of Bromsgrove that have previously not seriously engaged with the Festival.” The Bromsgrove Festival will run this year from Friday 16th June to Sunday July 23rd. The full programme is also available at www.bromsgrovefestival.co.uk and many events will provide for internet booking and ticket purchase. Lying in the lee of Clee Hills at the very Alvechurch is a quintessentially English edge of Worcestershire, Hagley is an village on the outskirts of Redditch and unusually well-connected place that is Birmingham, with deep-running roots that growing into one of the county’s most can be traced back to the eighth century. in-demand places to live.

Using her own funding through North Worcestershire Economic Development and Regeneration (NWEDR) Cheryl has seen projects through to fruition including youth markets, the festive extravaganza of 2016 and plans to host skateboarding events and motorcycle displays in the future.

  • Wythall Residents Association
    WYTHALL RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION Together we can make Wythall West a better place to live and work. Wythall residents need a strong INDEPENDENT LOCAL VOICE to speak out as their District Councillor. We are giving you that CHOICE. Why should you vote for your WYTHALL RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION candidate? We need to improve the way Bromsgrove District Council is managed: The Council has lost its way and needs fresh ideas and a new approach to delivering local services. The planning department is officially the worst performing in the entire country and has been “Designated” by the Government which means that large developers are able to by-pass the Council’s democratic planning process. Your Council Tax money is being wasted on grandiose schemes to revive the flagging Bromsgrove town centre. Converting an old, unsuitable building into a new Council House with limited space and car parking, this means that virtually all of the Council staff will be based in Redditch, which adds to the expense. Borrowing over £11m to build a new Bromsgrove Town leisure centre with no sports hall and which our residents cannot reach by public transport. Council Tax payers will be repaying this debt for the next 50 years. The New Homes Bonus has not been fairly shared with Wythall. We have had to accommodate many new homes with no additional facilities or infrastructure. This short term Government funding is currently used to prop up council services—but what will happen when it runs out? Only Wythall Residents Association Councillors believe that Wythall residents should receive a fair share of this bonus.

Is the methodology for selecting these sites robust and transparent? Has appropriate consideration been given to alternative locations? Have exceptional circumstances been demonstrated to justify the removal of land from the Green Belt? 1. In addition to the previous comments made in the previous Hearing Statements XB1/1a and XB1/1b dated 3 rd December 2014 and 8th June 2015 Bromsgrove District Council (BDC) and Redditch Borough Council (RBC) would like to take the opportunity to re-emphasise and add the following comments. 2. The Councils’ consider that the Foxlydiate and Brockhill East urban extensions represent the most appropriate locations for meeting Redditch’s housing needs within Bromsgrove District. The analysis that informs this view can be found in the Housing Growth Development Study (HGDS) [CDX1.1], and further explanation is found in the more recent Narrative on the Site Selection Process for the Growth Areas at Redditch January 2016 [“The Narrative”] which were completed jointly by BDC and RBC officers.
