Fly-tipping investigation: can you help?

Our Community and Environmental Protection team is appealing for information following a fly-tipping incident on Heightington Lane, Ribbesford.

At around 1.25pm on Friday 16 October, someone dumped a quantity of roofing waste at the location, including roofing felt, slate tiles, roof lining, and insulation.

As part of our enquiries, we'd like to hear from anyone who was in the area around that time and may have seen a white Ford crew-cab flat-bed truck travelling along Heightington Lane or stopping nearby.

Even what may seem like a small detail could help our investigation.

If you witnessed the incident or have any information that could assist, please contact our Community and Environmental Protection team on 01562 732928 or email [email protected]

🌳 Saturday was a special day for Brinton Park, Kidderminster!

After all the planning and restoration work, it was fantastic to see the park filled with residents and visitors enjoying everything it now has to offer.

People explored the restored ornamental pool and bridge, discovered Brinton Park through the years at the photographic exhibition, enjoyed the live music, and had the chance to take a look inside the new pavilion and café.

And we've loved hearing so many positive comments about the park and its transformation. Thank you to everyone who came along, stopped for a chat, or helped make the opening celebration such a memorable day.

The restoration has reached an important milestone, but Saturday wasn't really an ending.

It was about seeing Brinton Park being enjoyed by the people it was created for, and looking forward to all the memories still to be made there.

☕ Planning a visit to the new café? Little Al's Kitchen will officially open at the pavilion on Monday 23 November. Follow Little Al's at Brinton Pavilion on Facebook for the latest café updates.

🎃👻 Happy Halloween, Wyre Forest!

Across the district today, witches, wizards, ghosts, skeletons, vampires, black cats, and little pumpkins will be out making Halloween memories.

Families will be carving pumpkins, decorating their homes, sharing treats and enjoying time together.

Over the last couple of weeks, we've shared ideas to help make Halloween more affordable, creative and sustainable, from swapping and reusing costumes to making decorations at home and bringing out old favourites year after year.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us and shared their ideas along the way.

Whether you're heading out trick-or-treating, attending a Halloween event or enjoying a spooky evening at home, we hope you have a safe and enjoyable Halloween.

🎃 Happy Halloween from everyone at Wyre Forest District Council.

🌳 What a day for Brinton Park, Kidderminster!

The ribbon has been cut, the celebrations are under way and it has been wonderful to see so many of you already enjoying the park.

Today, the Chairman of Wyre Forest District Council, Councillor George Connolly, officially opened the restored Brinton Park, marking a special moment in the history of The People's Park.

From exploring the restored ornamental pool and bridge, to visiting the photographic exhibition and stopping for a drink at the pavilion with Little Al's Kitchen, people have been rediscovering what makes Brinton Park such a special place.

Today's official opening marks an important milestone, but this is really just the beginning. We can't wait to see the new memories that will be made here in the years ahead. Little Al’s officially opens on Monday, 23 November.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported the project, including The National Lottery Heritage Fund and The National Lottery Community Fund, whose funding has helped make this restoration possible.

Thank you to everyone who has joined us to celebrate.

With support from The National Lottery Heritage Fund and The National Lottery Community Fund, the restoration project has helped breathe new life into one of Wyre Forest's most valued green spaces.

People have different views about how council tax support should be provided.

That's why we're asking residents to take part in our consultation on proposed changes to the Council Tax Reduction Scheme.

The proposal could increase support for households on the lowest incomes, with some potentially receiving up to 100% support towards their council tax.

No decisions have been made. Before anything is considered further, we want to hear from the people who live here.

Whether you support the proposal, oppose it, or are still undecided, please take a few minutes to read the information and share your views before the consultation closes at midnight on 31 October.
