Wychavon, Administrative district in Worcestershire, England
Wychavon is an administrative district in Worcestershire that covers a wide area with several towns including Evesham and Droitwich Spa. The district is centered around Pershore, which houses the main council headquarters.
The district was created on 1 April 1974, bringing together five former administrative areas under the Local Government Act of 1972. This reorganization established the local government structure that continues today.
The district name originates from a combination of references to the Saxon Kingdom of Hwicce and the River Avon that flows through the region.
The district is accessible via road and public transport connections linking its main towns. Visitors can travel between Evesham, Droitwich Spa, and Pershore relatively easily using local bus services and railway lines.
The district maintains 43 council positions, with representation distributed among Conservative, Liberal Democrat, Green, and Labour party members following the 2023 election.
