I moved here as a young adult to start a family in a quiet village location. I want my children to grow up in the village community and not be swamped in a city location!

Kemp's has grown too big for the infrastructure it has and any bigger will destroy what remains of village life.

As an incomer to Kempsey of 21 years I really want to retain the village “feel” and the community spirit of Kempsey.

Building on the significant gap would take away all of this and Kempsey would no longer be a village - and we moved here from a city because it is a lovely, well kept and friendly village in the heart of the countryside.

I fear we will definitely lose this “feel” and would simply become a part of Worcester with all the inherent problems that cities have, ie traffic problems, anti-social behaviour, the lack of community spirit, etc., etc.
It should also be remembered that our school is already over subscribed, the drainage in the village is a problem for a number of areas and one which WCC are well aware of.
The doctor’s surgery is at full capacity ………. I could go on and promises will no doubt be made as to how these problems can be remedied BUT at the heart of all of this is the fact that Kempsey is a VILLAGE with a beating heart, a strong community spirit and has a rich history, beautiful countryside and we DO NOT want Kempsey to lose its identity.

Kempsey is a village and should remain as such.
Villages such as kempsey are attractive to people to move to becoming part of an urban sprawl would cause a lot of upheaval as people move to other villages and would damage the community.

I was born and raised in Kempsey and I love my village. Already there are more people than facilities but for now it is just about manageable.
It would be tragic for it to just blend into the suburbs of Worcester, we need to keep it a beautiful rural riverside village.

This village does not have the infrastructure for more housing. Making the existing villagers lives difficult in every way .

Kempsey is not Worcester, it is a separate village, that's why we choose to live here.

Kempsey should be kept as a village and not be turned into another suburb of Worcester it’s is its own little place of heaven and quite plus the wildlife around the village is beautiful whether it’s cold rain or sunshine the view are amazing

We want to remain a village. We moved here to raise our daughter ina rural setting, not a city or urban area. Stop developing when we don’t need it. You’re ruining the coutryside.

Kempsey needs to remain a village no more housing developments the only thing this village needs is a bigger school and a larger doctors surgery

Worcester is becoming overbearing and taking much loved open green space. Our City is wonderful as are the many villages around it, they should not just become an extension of the City.

I grew up in Kempsey although I don’t live there now. It is definitely a separate community from Worcester and should remain so.

We love our village we so need to stop spoiling it and taking away that we are a beautiful village!

Thanks to Martin Allen for fighting to keep our village.

I totally agree that a village should remain a village & keep its identity. Villages are part of the charm of the UK. Friends in America think of England as villages and London!!

I live in Kempsey. I moved back here after living in Essex to be back in the village I grew up in. It’s a village of character and neighbourly kindness. The area provides habitat for nature. Its heritage should not be dragged into an urban sprawl.

There are enough houses in kempsey. And all the lovely surrounding areas that make this village beautiful are all disappearing
There are not a school/doctors that can cope with the increase already.
Just leave alone now

I've lived in Kempsey all my life It was a beautiful village but now it's becoming more like a town the amount of people living hear now is bursting this once great village
I remember you could walk down the street on a summers day and the neighbours would speak and offer you a glass of juice
These days are long gone

I don’t believe that Kempsey needs to become part of Worcester. Our green areas really do need to be protected and we have a right to retain our village status.

I was born in kempsey and have close family that still live here .My child attends kempsey school as do my grandchildren I am trying to move back as I feel most at home in the village

I live in Kempsey, it’s important to me and my family that it maintains its village status and community. The heritage of Kempsey as a village is important as well.

Rachel Faull-Brown (2025-04-09)

We moved to Kempsey for the village location, for the rural aspect and small community. The village is growing and the services and infrastructures here do not and would never support a larger increase in population or suburb status (4 pubs, 1 shop and 1 school). Please stop developing a village which cannot cope with it!

I am signing as I want to keep kempsey a village as my family have been in this village for many years starting with my nan and grandad and they were a big part of the village.
We as family love village life that’s why we chose to stay in village as we got older and to bring our children up in a village.

I have lived in Kempsey for over 20 years and really don’t want to see it swallowed up by Worcester.

Sarah Tart (2025-04-09)

Because I like the ‘rural feel’ of Kempsey.
The village is already over run with traffic particularly when the motor way is shut.
No more development

It’s important to keep the tranquility of the important green spaces between city’s and villages, that’s why we love our country

I believe that every member of our community wants to keep Kempsey a village. "The significant gap is what keeps Kempsey from becoming part of Worcester. Losing it would harm both the environment and our village’s distinctiveness."
