This afternoon, our Kidderminster BID team joined Wyre Forest Police for joint patrols around the town centre 💙 We checked in with local businesses, had some fantastic chats with owners and residents, and carried out hotspot policing at 11 key locations with additional officers. Any issues were addressed quickly and collaboratively, including 1 arrest for public order, 1 referral for a vulnerable adult, and PSPO patrols, helping to keep Kidderminster safe and welcoming. This kind of partnership shows the real difference we can make when BID, police, businesses, and residents work together. #Kidderminster #Worcestershire #security #safety #town #local #community #love #business #support

Chris & Ricky have been hard at work around town this week, you might have spotted them in their bright blue tops, out cleaning our streets and getting stuck into gardening work 💙 They’ve been busy over at Bromsgrove Street Car Park, de-weeding, tidying the brickwork, and clearing around the bollards to give the whole area a fresher look. They also cut back the bushes on New Road and Market Street, making the footpaths wider, safer, and more welcoming for everyone. 🌿 It’s been wonderful to see the support this week, from waves and chats to tea and coffee from Co-op Funeral Directors. We’re passionate about what we do, and it’s great to know the difference is being noticed. 💙 #Kidderminster #Worcestershire #local #nature #love #family #community #gardening #business #litter #growth #town

Another busy week for Ricky & Chris, between them they’ve clocked up over 50,000 steps, filled over 20 bags of litter, de-weeded footpaths, and cut back those feral bushes right to the fences . The result? Safer, more open walkways with fewer hazards and tidier green spaces for everyone to enjoy. 🌳✨ Alongside litter picking, our gardening efforts are helping nature feel more controlled and cared for, and the positive feedback we’ve had from people passing by has been amazing 🙌. We hope you’re noticing the difference too, these ongoing efforts are all about making our town and streets safer, cleaner, and more welcoming. 💙 #Kidderminster #Worcestershire #nature #community #town #love #support #litter #naturelovers #family #summer
