Foreword

This is a legacy defining moment in the history of our wonderful town and one that will benefit generations of residents and visitors, both now and long into the future.

I’m obviously delighted that the government recognised the great ambition within our bid. The £19.8m levelling up funding will underpin an ambitious and far-reaching plans to link town centre regeneration with a strengthened visitor economy.

Thanks are owed to all those who have contributed to this great council success, particularly the members of the stakeholder group for their constructive and supportive contributions and the council officers who drafted the bid.
