Bromsgrove's Historic Civil Defence Facility to be recorded thanks to Bromsgrove Society intervention

The Bromsgrove Society alerted Bromsgrove District Council's planning officers and committee of the existence of the former Civil Defence Centre housed under the County Buildings complex just in time, before approval to demolish was given. [Planning Application 18/01209/FUL]

In the planning meeting on Monday 29th April approval was given for the demolition of the Old Library, Fire Station and County buildings on the corner of Windsor Street and Stratford Road, Bromsgrove to allow for the construction of 67 apartments for people in need of care. Bromsgrove Society Chairman Pat Tansell notified the planning team about the facility which she first became aware of when she started work at the Library in 1981.
