Windsor Street Site Cleared, Former Library and Fire Station Gone Windsor Street Site Cleared, Former Library and Fire Station Gone

Hey, guess what happened in Bromsgrove? They finished demolishing buildings on Windsor Street. The council bought the land back in March 2022. They got it from the county council. The fire authority was also involved.

The area was empty for eight long years. The library moved to Parkside, and the fire station relocated to Slideslow Drive. Now, the cleared site used to have a library, a council office block, a fire station, and a training tower.

This project gets money from the Levelling Up Fund, a government fund that will help projects all over Bromsgrove. Sue Baxter mentioned the demolition’s completion, saying it helps bring the area back to life.

Using a brownfield site takes time, and they need to ensure safety for the project. The funding covers several important steps, including buying the land, demolition, and decontamination.

They want to remove old, unused buildings to make room to build something new. The new development should work for many things, and the council considers different ways to use the site.

They want more people visiting the town center and hope to increase how long they stay. This will make Bromsgrove’s economy stronger. Next, they’ll remove contaminated soil and will keep checking the groundwater, too, to be sure the site is safe.
