They are using pond materials for footpaths. This protects wildlife as visitors enjoy the meadow. Funding comes from Wychavon via a UK fund.
The path work starts past Vines Park. It ends at Ladywood Lock. The project should take about five weeks.
The council plans other changes in the area. They are also changing Coney Meadow. It is a wildlife area by the Droitwich Canal.
The council and a trust got land for habitats. The 5.5-hectare wetland will help local wildlife. Coney Meadow has many bird species.
Birds like warblers, cuckoos, swifts, and martins live there. They feed and breed at the site. The council dropped plans for a new leisure center last year. It was too expensive, they reported to the public last year.
Now, the council will improve existing services. They also want to cut the district’s carbon use.
One million pounds funds a health corridor plan. It connects Vines Park and Churchfields Farm. The plan includes path work and solar lights. They will add moorings, benches, a kayak launch, plus e-bikes.
