Redditch New Town Time Line
On the following pages you will find a time line of the key events during the development of
Redditch New Town.
This time line is split into two sections. The first covers the period from 1964 to 1985 when the
Redditch Development Corporation was responsible for the planning & development of the new
town. The second section covers the period from 1985 to the current time when responsibility for
Redditch developments was returned to the local Borough Council control.
Also in this chapter are a list of Redditch Mayors, a position only created in 1980.
Finally we have include a list of invention over the last 50 years which have revolutionised the
lives of millions throughout the world and have therefore also been a significant influence on
Redditch residents.
