This funding will support the regeneration of the Town centre alongside providing a great boost to our local economy.




“I was re-elected to help level up and improve opportunities for people in Bromsgrove District.

“This investment – a product of teamwork with my Conservative colleagues at the District Council, and shows our power to deliver on the priorities of local residents and help build back better.”
