Tenbury Wells
Tenbury Wells is to undergo a major facelift which will see town centre streets spruced up and major repairs to a historic bridge in a scheme which could run into millions of pounds.
The town has been named as a top priority for a public realm makeover by officials at Worcestershire County Council.
It means cash would be provided to carry out a range of improvements, including emergency repairs to the 14th century Teme Bridge, which has damaged masonry.
It has not yet been revealed exactly how much cash will be invested in the town, but it is believed work to repair the bridge will cost between £1 million and £2 million alone.
Members of Tenbury Area Partnership have held preliminary talks with county council chiefs and are due to meet again in mid-April.
The news has been welcomed by civic officials in the town.
Alan Eachus, a member of Tenbury and Burford Civic Society and Tenbury Area Partnership, said the scheme was at its early stages.
However, he said was delighted at the progress made after three years of lobbying.
He said: “It is great news for Tenbury.
“The town is in desperate need of a facelift to help its future prosperity.”
