“This £65million investment will help regenerate the town centre, bringing a ten-screen multiplex Cineworld cinema, a Travelodge Hotel, much needed homes, enhanced range of retailers, new restaurants and leisure provisions, a purpose-built modern library and improved public realm.”

Justin Thomas, residential director for New River Retail, said: “The exchange of the Agreement for Lease is a key milestone for our exciting development.

“We have been working closely with the council to get to this point and we look forward to sharing further progress and more details on the programme of works in the coming weeks.”
