We are holding two public meetings during March 2025.
- Saturday 8th March 2025 - 10am until 12pm
- Wednesday 12th March 2025 - 2pm until 4pm
The meetings will take place at Stourport Community Centre, Lower Lickhill Road, Stourport-on-Severn, DY13 8RW.
At these meetings we will be considering what an emerging Stourport Vision will look like and how the Vision might be achieved. This is an informal opportunity for anyone who didn’t complete the Online Survey to have their say, and for anyone who wants to find out what progress has been made so far.
We really want to hear what people think and hope to see as many of you there as possible!
Thank you to the 1200+ people who took part in our initial Stourport Future survey!
What is Stourport Future
Stourport Future is an initiative from Stourport Town Council. We aim to build a new Vision and Plan for the town that will help secure funding for the long overdue investment in the town. We want our Vision to be driven by the needs of everyone in the town which is why we started with our Survey.
We’ve had some fantastic responses and really appreciate the time people have taken to let us know what they want to see the future Stourport to look like.
People who completed the survey gave our town an average rating of 3.1 out of 5 stars. We want to take this average rating and work on ways to improve it and that is where your suggestions will help!
Our next step is to summarise the survey so that we can use the insights in further consultation to understand more about the problems and also to look at opportunities for the future.
We’re going to be publicising updates on our Facebook page and don’t forget that our Mayor has an open-door surgery every second Tuesday if you have anything you would like to discuss! You can also email the working group at stourportfuture@stourporttowncouncil.gov.uk
We have had some comments and requests for things that are beyond our remit. We won’t be ignoring these; we will make sure your views are heard and highlight them with the appropriate authorities. If there are any issues you feel need reporting, please check out our reporting webpage for information on the most appropriate place to report to.
The hard part starts once the vision has been created. That is, changing the town to match the vision! Not everyone will agree with every change.
It's not too late to have your say, watch this space for the next round of consultation. You don’t have to have completed the first survey to take part in further consultation.
Getting on with it now
As well as the vision and plan, we are looking at what we might be able to do now to address issues and concerned raised:
- Signage : A member of the team has been reviewing the car park information signs around town to provide better direction of the town’s car parks. We’re also updating the “finger signs” around town to reflect changes.
- Communication: one of the messages that came up in the survey was the need to hear more about what is going on in the town. To address this, we’re looking at how we improve digital communication and also more notice boards around the town.
We encourage you to stay connected with us and share your feedback. You can follow updates on Facebook or by reading our council meeting minutes Council meetings | Stourport Town Council and you can reach us at stourportfuture@stourporttowncouncil.gov.uk
