AlcesterA market town in Warwickshire
Alcester is a very attractive market town with Neolithic, Roman and medieval heritage.
Shakespeare’s Stratford upon Avon is some six miles away, just a stroll away for William.
Coughton Court, just outside the Town has a strong association with the Gunpowder Plot.
Alcester’s two rivers, the Arrow and the Alnewere an attraction to the Romans and the Roman Salt Road still recognisable in the town, brought the essential salt from nearby Droitwich

Population of Alcester
Higher proportion of residents aged 65+ in Alcester:

Alcester had a lower rate of population growth when compared to the district average, however, it
had a higher rate of population growth between 2014/15 when

considered.

The Board – Early Days
The Board formed a useful and effective forum for sharing ideas,
events and services.
The needs of the people of Alcester were identified with reference to
county and district objectives. Considering the demographics, it is not surprising that older residents,
and possible loneliness, were identified as issues to initially
target.
Other issues were identified, but the Board agreed to be realistic and
work on this an initial project.
