Droitwich Canal Bridge refurbishments

Canal bridge and sign post Earlier this year, two much-loved footbridges over the canal in Droitwich received major refurbishments.

We undertook the work on the Little Hill Court and King George Playing Fields footbridges, to replace the old worn wooden decks with brand-new composite decking.

The works took place at the start of the year to take advantage of much lower use of the canal.

Malvern Technology Park

Plans have been submitted for the development of six new commercial buildings on Malvern Technology Park, next to the already well established Science Park.

The application comprises 4.5 hectares of land in the eastern part of the wider site, to the southeast of Great Malvern town centre.

The site hosts a variety of science and tech businesses and, building on its success the proposed development will bring new business and investors into the area, supporting the creation of new jobs and commercial floorspace.
