“As we take steps forward with the regeneration of our town centre, it is one of mine and fellow cabinet members’ key priorities to engage regularly with our local businesses and hear their feedback about our regeneration ambitions.
“I want to thank our regeneration team for their hard work in getting us to this point; it’s so good to see the plans taking shape to transform our town to become a place where visitors and businesses can thrive.
