Route to the Hills project - have your say on draft report

The community event held in Priory Park on the 4^th June to explore ways of enhancing public open space between Great Malvern Railway Station and the Hills has been hailed as a great success. 

Following this public consultation landscape artists, Pleydell Smithyman, have produced a draft report detailing their recommendations about how the project should be approached and therefore what enhancements and additions could be made to the Great Malvern's parks and the route to the Hills through the Town.

The project management group is keen to ensure that the public continue to have a chance to view and comment on these draft proposals before the final plan is agreed.  You can view the project until the 25^th July at www.malvernhills.gov.uk/routetothehills and also at Malvern Library between the 16^th and 25^th July.

Malvern Hills District Council has been working on the project with key organisations including the Malvern Civic Society, High Street Great Malvern, Malvern Town Council and Malvern Hills Conservators.  Councillor Barbara Williams, Portfolio Holder for Economic Development at MHDC says:

“This is an exciting project with huge potential and it is important to us that we gather thoughts and ideas from as many of our residents and community organisations as possible.  This is an ideal opportunity to improve this route and encourage people to visit the parks more often and hopefully the local shops as well, which would also help boost the local economy.”
