A FUND-raising challenge is in the pipeline for the district's three new mayors.

Stourport mayor Michael Grinnall has suggested Kidderminster's John Stevens and Bewdley's Carol Gittins join him in an inaugural Three Towns Sponsored Walk.

Mr Grinnall, who is hoping to arrange the event later in the year, said proceeds would go to the civic leaders' charities.

He said: "I think it would be a great way to raise vital funds, especially as this would be a new event for the district.

"Stourport folk would leave with me from the civic centre, we would walk to Kidderminster and pick up people, then on to Bewdley, before we return to Stourport and the rest continue the challenge," said Mr Grinnall.
