Bromsgrove Centres and Market

Vision

“Our towns and villages are at the heart of the community and as such their vitality and economic future should be supported, promoted and enabled”

About the Centres

In the light of national trends like increasing use of internet shopping, reduced footfall in town centres and a growing population, the Council set out an approach to supporting all centres in its Bromsgrove Centres Strategy

The Centres Strategy covers a three-year period for the high street and 7 outlying centres - Alvechurch, Aston Fields, Barnt Green, Catshill, Hagley, Rubery and Wythall. It is a high-level document that states we will work together to make all Bromsgrove centres a place that attract more businesses, shoppers, workers, residents, and visitors.

We want to support communities and businesses in all centres, although we will work with different centres in different ways.

For instance, we encourage smaller local and district centres to take more responsibility for driving local improvements themselves with support, while main centres can expect to see a greater level of support, reflecting the larger number of jobs and businesses they accommodate.

We will work with Parish Councils, Business and Trader Associations and other key stakeholders in each of the centres with a focus on developing shared ambitions and actions.

Regeneration

In November 2021, the government approved a £14,492,000 Levelling Up Fund grant for Bromsgrove. The grant will support the redevelopment of the former Market Hall site and predevelopment works (demolition and remediation) on the Windsor Street site to enable a future site redevelopment.

Former Market Hall Site

The redevelopment proposals for the site will deliver a landmark building offering flexible office space, business co-working spaces as well as a food and beverage at ground level. The project will also provide a facility for hosting exhibitions and cultural community events. The design phase for the project has already commenced with planning submission expected in Spring 2023, works on site are programmed to commence in Oct 2023 with an anticipated duration of one year.

Windsor Street Site Redevelopment

This key abandoned brownfield site has been vacant for six years, the Levelling Up Fund element will remove derelict buildings and ensure the site is remediated by March 2024 to make way for future development. Public Realm The two development projects will also deliver associated public realm improvements on the High Street South and Chapel Street, helping to improve accessibility and connectivity between the sites and within the Town Centre.
