Bromsgrove District Council (BDC) must build 9,000 new homes over the next 15 years, with Alvechurch Parish expected to take its share. BDC has proposed 500 new homes for Alvechurch Village — 400 near the train station (ALV01) and 100 off Old Rectory Lane (ALV02). You can view the full proposal here (Alvechurch details start on page 42).
Alvechurch’s strong transport links and quality of life make it a prime location, but this level of development could have a lasting impact. While new housing can bring benefits, it must be matched with proper infrastructure and community input.
Alvechurch Parish Council (APC) is a consultee, not the decision-maker, but we want to ensure your views are heard. We’ve updated our online questionnaire to reflect new information released by BDC on 11 June. If you’ve already responded, your input still counts — but you’re welcome to submit updated responses.

You may know that 7no. grenades were taken out of the canal using a magnet by a man and two were left on the grass, but the other 5no. have been taken away.
Obviously, these are extremely dangerous and the worry is that if the remaining 5no. have been discarded in a bin or in a field and found by anyone, let alone a child, then the consequences could be fatal. If you find these grenades or know of their whereabouts please report the matter to the police.
