City Centre Community Space is needed!

 

City Centre Community Space is needed!

Living in Worcester you get a sense of pride and community in most parts of the City, developers naturally have used the relaxation of planning laws to cash in on unused space above shops.

This means hundreds of new Flats are being approved in the City centre with no associated facilities or adequate amenity space.

Therefore, a community HUB in the city centre would create a sense of belonging and ownership to residents who often have no access to all the benefits and facilities traditional communities enjoy.

 Facilities in the City Centre would enhance the lives of residents and ensure residents for the better and create a sense of belonging.

 

Lynn and I have been ​working with officers so that we have a vision for the high street that caters for hundreds of new people living in it & that adequate community spaces are close by for them to enjoy.

 

Your Labour Councillors highlighting the Issues that matter to you the most!

The use of on street parking is vital to the Church and its success. The TRO proposed would effectively cause residents and Church users alike to park in already congested side streets like Victoria Avenue & Sebright Avenue or much further away, thus causing the same issues further along the road. The T...
