Stourport-on-Severn emerging LCWIP network
Information on the work for LCWIP taking place Stourport-on-Severn.
Stourport-on-Severn - Cycling Routes
Sustrans has identified three primary routes in Stourport-on-Severn:
S1: Stourport (west) links to schools (2.9 km)
This route connects Burlish Top Nature Reserve at Kingsway, Burlish Crossing, Lickhill Road North, Lower Lickhill Road, Moorhall Lane and New Street to Stourport town centre. This route is close to Stourport Primary Academy, Lickhill Primary School and St Wulstan's Primary School.
S2: Areley Kings connection (4.5 km)
This route connects Stourport town centre with Areley Kings. The route uses the existing A451 Stourport Bridge, however, this is indicative only and is subject to feasibility for a new active travel bridge or other solutions. The proposed route in Areley Kings is via Layamon Walk and a circular route via Hermitage Way, Areley Common, Abberley Avenue, Bredon Way, Cotswold Avenue and Pearl to B4196 Areley Common. From Areley Common, Redstone Lane, Princess Way (St Bartholomew's CE Primary School) and footpaths leading to Hermitage Way and Layamon Walk
S3: Stourport (east) links to employment (4.9 km)
This route connects Stourport Marina at Nelson Road, Sandy Lane, Broach Road, Hartlebury Common Nature Reserve, Britannia Gardens, Power Station Road, Worcester Road, via footpaths to Hartlebury Road, Mill Road, Millfields Drive, Timber Lane, Manor Road, (Stourport High School and Sixth Form College), onto Kingsway and Burlish Top Nature Reserve.
Stourport-on-Severn - Walking and Wheeling network
The emerging walking and wheeling network for Stourport has five primary routes along with two secondary. The network serves the town centre and key destinations including St Bartholomew's CE Primary School, Lickhill Primary School, Hartlebury Park, Steatite Recreation Ground, Leapgate old railway line and Areley Kings. In addition, the core town centre including High Street, York Street and Lion Hill will be a focus for walking and wheeling improvements.
Have your say
To inform the Council's approach to providing walking, wheeling and cycling improvements in the Wyre Forest Towns, a public engagement exercise is currently underway, asking for people's views. We would like to know how the emerging LCWIP network might encourage more walking, wheeling and cycling in Kidderminster, Stourport-on-Severn and Bewdley.
This LCWIP engagement distinguishes cycling from walking and wheeling routes. However, as part of the commitment to making active travel accessible to everyone, it is intended that all cycling corridors will consider corridor-wide improvements for walking and wheeling where possible.
As many people as possible are encouraged to have their say by accessing the online maps and survey.
