A NEW long-term vision for Kidderminster, with a focus on making the town look more attractive and welcoming, has been detailed in a new report.
The Vision for Kidderminster 2040 document was drawn up following a consultation with residents and businesses in November last year.
A survey, which asked for the views of residents to help shape the future of the town, was produced by HemingwayDesign on behalf Wyre Forest District Council.
The "optimistic" vision highlights a desire for more independent and local shops, more green spaces and access to the river and canal, more local and independent cafes and restaurants, better open public space to hold events and festivals, more cultural space for arts, music, film and theatre, and to see more people living in the town.
