Allimore Lane development-Southern parcel- Road naming consultation Autumn 2021

In Autumn 2021, Alcester Town Council welcomed nominations for road names suitable for roads on the southern section of the Bloor Homes Allimore Lane housing development.  Roads on the northern section have already been named after late Mayors of Alcester with the main spine road through the estate being Mayors Drive.

Planning approval was granted in December 2021 for the southern part of the new housing development and seven new roads will be created in this last phase of the new build programme with work potentially commencing in June/July 2022. The new roads will take a while to complete.

The Town Council has therefore had time to carefully consider the huge response of 65 nominations and started in the new year to face the challenging task of selecting just seven road names. Councillors decided to name the new roads after members of the community who had made a significant contribution to Alcester in a wide variety of ways.

The Town Council is delighted to announce the following road names:

Watts Close (in memory of John Watts)

Ward Avenue (in memory of Derrick Ward)

Calvert Close (in memory of Peter James Calvert)

Norris Close (in memory of Edwina Norris)

Stuart Place (in memory of Stuart Davis)

Palmer Gardens (in memory of Sylvia Palmer)

Barker Close (in memory of Norman Barker)
