Route of possible Stourport relief road

The road in the distance has been built on the site of part of a former railway line. This branched off the line serving Stourport, and went to the now demolished power station, near the River Severn. The road's present function is to give access to various residential developments.

In the immediate foreground is the site of a possible continuation of this road, which would function as part of a relief road for the town. There is considerable doubt over whether this bit will ever be built. To do so would mean slicing through a section of the remaining green space between Stourport and Kidderminster, and would no doubt generate a huge row.
