Historic Canal Towpath Improvement

In October 2021, proposals set to regenerate cultural and heritage sites in Kidderminster were approved by the Government’s Levelling Up Fund. The regeneration proposal submitted in July by North Worcestershire Economic Development Regeneration, on behalf of Wyre Forest District Council, will see a further £17.9m invested into three key projects in Kidderminster Town Centre.

One of the three projects is to create a new walking and cycle pathway along the canal towpath in partnership with Worcestershire County Council, linking the heritage and natural assets with Kidderminster town centre.
