YOU will have seen in yesterday’s paper that work has begun on Worcester’s Arches cultural hub near to the Hive building.
More of the railway arches in that area, which have been underused for many years, are being transformed into useful and attractive buildings. The city council, the university, Severn Arts, The Arch Company and Worcestershire County Council are working together to create a space for cultural activities in five of the arches there.
I was delighted to join representatives from the other organisations for a photo on Monday to launch the £3 million project, which has been awarded a grant from Government’s Cultural Development Fund.
