Get the kettle on - contract to run Morton Stanley is now available

Redditch Editorial 16th Feb, 2022   0

A CONTRACT of up to ten years is up for grabs to run the brand new cafe and toilets in Morton Stanley Park.

Redditch Borough Council is inviting businesses to bid to run the café which is set to open this spring on the east side of the park, off Windmill Drive.

The council’s portfolio holder for procurement, Councillor Craig Warhurst, said the proposed contract was available on the authority’s procurement portal.

“We’re pleased to offer this opportunity to run something that people in Redditch have talked about for some time, and I hope we’ll see some solid proposals come in.”




Borough council Leader, Coun Matt Dormer, added: “Now we’ve built the café and toilets that people told us they wanted in Morton Stanley Park, it’s time to get a great tenant in to run it.

“This has the potential to really level up the popular park for its users.”


Interested parties should visit redditchbc.gov.uk/procurement to find out more.

The 95-acre park was left to the people of Redditch by local industrialist William Morton Stanley (1840 to 1924).

Today, his former farm and cottage is a rich mosaic of natural habitats and things to do, set in a historic landscape of open mown grass, wildflower meadows, veteran trees, ponds, and woodland walks.

The new café will complement the range of popular facilities in the park, including football pitches, play areas, skate park, and zip wire.
