Your voice can influence what happens next in our town centre.

Bromsgrove District is home to a collection of character-filled centres each with its own charm, community feel and local identity. Alongside Bromsgrove Town Centre, we support seven outlying centres:

  • Alvechurch
  • Aston Fields
  • Barnt Green
  • Catshill
  • Hagley
  • Rubery
  • Wythall

Across all eight centres, we work closely with businesses, community groups and partners to keep our high streets welcoming and vibrant. This commitment is set out in the Bromsgrove Centres Strategy 2023–2026.

Our Vision for Bromsgrove Town Centre

To support the future of Bromsgrove High Street a new Town Centre Strategic Framework has been created, which sets out a fresh, exciting vision for the heart of Bromsgrove. It was shaped with input from local businesses, community groups and partners, and brings together everything from transport improvements to regeneration, heritage, culture and economic growth.

What the new framework aims to achieve:

  1. A town that’s easier and more enjoyable to move around. Better walking and cycling routes, improved wayfinding and cleaner, greener public spaces.
  2. Better links for visitors and commuters. Including stronger connections to the railway station, Artrix, Avoncroft Museum and surrounding neighbourhoods.
  3. A clean, safe and welcoming environment. New initiatives to reduce antisocial behaviour, and improved street cleansing.
  4. A great place for businesses to grow. From exploring a Business Improvement District (BID) to business support programmes, pop‑up opportunities and the growing Taste of Bromsgrove brand.
  5. A lively, vibrant town centre full of activity. An exciting mix of town centre events, enabled and supported throughout the year, helping to bring communities together and boost footfall.

This work will be driven by a new Town Centre Steering Group, bringing partners together to deliver our shared vision.

 

Bromsgrove loves a celebration, and our community always rallies behind the fantastic activities that take place across the district. As we head into the year, we’ll be working closely with local groups, businesses and event organisers to support a wide range of external events helping bring ideas to life and making sure our centres stay vibrant and welcoming.

We’ll also be sharing an overview of what’s coming up throughout the year so residents can easily see what’s on and get involved.

  • A wide variety of stalls
  • Seasonal and themed markets
  • Opportunities for startups and small businesses to shine

It’s a place where local shopping meets community spirit and everyone is welcome.
