If you are looking to move to Redditch from out of the area you may find the following information useful.

Redditch is a town and local government district in Worcestershire, England, just south of the West Midlands urban area. The district has a population of about 90,000.

The first recorded mention of Redditch is in 1348, the year of the outbreak of the Black Death. During the Middle Ages it became a centre of needle-making. The needle makers were some of the toughest people in the country. The job was so dangerous that they had an average life expectancy of just 28.

It was designated a new town in 1964 and the population increased dramatically from 32,000 to around 77,000. Entire new estates such as Church Hill, Matchborough, Oakenshaw and Winyates were created to accommodate the large overspill from an industrially expanding Birmingham. 

It has some light industry and is also well-known in the region for its speciality Batchley Cheese. With the redevelopment of the flagship Kingfisher Shopping Centre in 2002 Redditch is undergoing an economic and cultural renaissance.

Located in the heart of England, Redditch is an ideal point of departure for destinations in the surrounding region. The M42 motorway is a short drive away and it is linked by dual carriageways and A-class roads to surrounding towns such as Bromsgrove and Evesham.

The Cross-City Line provides a regular train service via Birmingham New Street to Lichfield. There are regular bus services to Studley, Bromsgrove, Catshill and Birmingham.

There is an extensive network of local bus services run by First and other operators. Many services run from the bus station in the town centre, a postcard of which was voted Britain's most boring postcard in a competition run by the photographer Martin Parr.

Redditch is locally well known for its confusing road system dominated by a system of dual carriageways built when it became a "New Town". Due to their similar appearance drivers easily become disorientated, although the story of an elderly couple admitted to hospital with severe dehydration after spending more than sixty hours trying to navigate the highway system is an urban legend.

Redditch was briefly famous for a tongue-in-cheek calendar featuring its "picturesque" roundabouts created by a local printing company, which proved so successful it has sparked a national series.
