Introduction from the Leader of the Council, Councillor Karen May
Our Principles and Purposes
Bromsgrove is more than a traditional market town; it’s a place with a purpose. We’re strategically located, just 30 minutes from central Birmingham and 45 minutes from Birmingham International Airport. Our district serves as a vital link, providing excellent motorway connections.
Home to over 95,000 residents, Bromsgrove District is centred around the town of Bromsgrove , but is made up of a mosaic of urban and rural places like Alvechurch, Aston Fields, Catshill, Barnt Green, Hagley, Rubery, Stoke Prior, and Wythall. Each area boasts their own unique community contributing to the rich tapestry of the district’s collective identity.
As you explore Bromsgrove, you’ll discover a source of pride and a place to explore in every corner. From the historic Hagley Hall, the last of the great Palladian houses, to the nearby National Trust beauty spot, Clent Hills, our district is steeped in history and natural beauty. Bromsgrove Town Centre boasts a striking traditional high street, adorned with independent shops, and hosts events throughout the year, reflecting the pride we take in our vibrant community. Avoncroft Museum, an open-air museum also showcases over 30 preserved buildings and stands as a testament to our dedication to preserving and celebrating our cultural heritage. Here, windmills coexist with Dr. Who’s TARDIS, embodying the harmonious blend of tradition and innovation.
A town once commissioned to create the gates of Buckingham Palace, alongside the industrial history of Rubery, and a historic nail making industry, our district is in itself a high performer. The Royal Connections don’t stop there either, with Harris [Brushes] having made their home in Stoke Prior in 1959 and still there today, the company were awarded the Royal Warrant by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, as the preferred manufacturer of decorating tools, paint brushes and rollers to the Royal Sandringham Estate in the early 60s.
