AMBITIOUS plans to breathe new life into parts of Worcester city centre have been unveiled by Worcestershire County Council and Worcester City Council.
The works, set to start early in the New Year, will see millions of pounds in funding invested in the city centre.
The improvements which will continue into 2024 include new surfacing, lighting, seating, planting and decluttering.
They are part of the major regeneration of the Angel Place and Angel Row area of the city centre, supported by £17.9million from the Government’s Future High Streets Fund.
Coun Alan Amos, cabinet member for Highways and Transport said: “Improving the city centre will make the area more attractive to everyone including residents, shoppers and businesses, helping to create a better environment, worthy of Worcester’s historic character.”
City council leader Coun Marc Bayliss said: “The £17.9million from the Future High Streets Fund into Worcester is set to create an exciting leisure, cultural, entertainment and residential quarter in the “northern gateway” area around Angel Place, including a new theatre for the city.”
An unstaffed exhibition is currently on display the Guildhall over Christmas and the New Year.
