Kidderminster is a historic market town in the Wyre Forest district of Worcestershire with a primary catchment population of 129,000. The town is located approximately 18 miles (29 km) south west of Birmingham and 14 miles (23 km) north of Worcester. Kidderminsters catchment population is moderately affluent, ranking 75 of the PROMIS Centres (group of 200 centres) on the PMA Affluence Indicator. Census results show that Kidderminster contains a significantly above average proportion of adults within social group C2 (which includes those in skilled manual employment) and an above average car ownership with a particularly high proportion of two car households. Employment within the town is dominated by the service sector industries. Kidderminster College and Birmingham Metropolitan College have recently invested 10 million in a new Academy which opened late 2012 in the town centre thereby increasing the number of new students by approximately 1,000. The town benefits from good communication with the M5 approximately 8 miles (13 km) to the east, accessed via the A448. The M5 motorway in turn provides access to the M42 motorway, the M6 motorway and the national motorway network surrounding Birmingham. The towns total retail floor area is estimated at 680,000 sq ft and includes three shopping centres; Rowland Hill Shopping Centre, Weavers Wharf Shopping Park and The Swan Centre. The towns traditional high street pedestrian flow is along Vicar Street fronting Rowland Hill Shopping Centre.
