Improving Stourbridge High Street

Many residents have expressed concerns over the state of the Stourbridge High Street. I have worked with local stakeholders like Dudley Council to secure enhancements to the High Street, improving the local environment for everyone

After a delay, Dudley Council have released their plans for the High Street which include:

  • Lighting, planters and CCTV to improve the look and feel of the town
  • New pedestrian crossing point to provide safe crossing of the ring road
  • New cycle routes to improve access into the town
  • Speed restrictions to support safe pedestrian and cycle movement
  • Creation of flexible space for community events

I will continue to follow developments closely.

Visiting New Italian Restaurant Gusto Di Italia

I tucked into a pizza on a visit to one of the town’s newest restaurants. I went to Gusto Di Italia at the top end of Stourbridge High Street to meet the owners Heba Mohammad and her partner Ahmed Rabie, who is the chef and has Italian ancestry. The restaurant opened in October last year.
