A new scheme to support children in Worcestershire who have witnessed domestic abuse has launched today (Friday, 14 December).

Worcestershire County Council will be travelling down to London next week to lobby the Government on finding a long-term solution to delivering Adult Social Care in the county.

Relieving congestion across the county

Worcestershire is expected to receive around an additional £4 million to help to reduce demand in social care across the county.

Once complete, the scheme will have raised over 500 metres of the A4104 in Upton between A38 and the Marina by up to 0.8 meters (2.5ft). This will mean the road will be able to remain open for longer.
