Rick toured Bromsgrove High Street with his son Ben to try and see how many empty shops there were on Bromsgrove High Street. But, despite finding a fair few empty units, Rick found that Bromsgrove High Street was still ‘very much alive.’ Ben, who has quadriplegic cerebral palsy, also praised the wheelchair accessibility of Bromsgrove High Street. “I wouldn’t say Bromsgrove High Street is dying; it’s very much still alive.” Bromsgrove District Council leader Coun Karen May has welcomed the positive comments and feels that some people on social media are harsh on Bromsgrove.
