Redevelopment of the Burgage

The exciting plans for the redevelopment of the Burgage were shown at a Public session of Tenbury Town Council last night. Although expensive, the Council's decision to commission Landscape Architects to produce a design for the Landscaping of the new children's play area and the wider Burgage proved that asking for help and where necessary paying for professional services is the correct way to move the Town forward to an exciting new era.

The plans will be seen as controversial by some and will no doubt require public consultation, but will move the public space in Tenbury from the same as seen in most small towns to an exciting and welcoming space.

If Tenbury is to take full advantage of the Tourist Pound, then it must have more to offer. It has many features which are poorly utilised, such as the River Teme and Kyre Brook.

This design makes good use of the proposed earth bunds that some hope will help to protect the town in times of flood. These could easily be an eyesore but with creative design could instead be a feature.
