Sick of the sight of derelict buildings

 
Rebecca Blake, Labour's Parliamentary Spokesperson has kicked off the debate on town centre development, amidst rumours surrounding the area around the train station.

Rebecca says "The train station is a gateway to our town.  Recently there have been many improvements in the area, including the pedestrian access, landscaping and artwork.  However, I am sick of the sight  of the derelict buildings next to the station, on Bromsgrove Road and Edward Street.

They give a negative image of our town and what's more some of these factories are part of our industrial heritage, yet have become a complete eyesore.  In the week that we have hosted the national bike tour, this is not how we want to greet our visitors.  For all of my life, many of these buildings have been in disrepair and this has been allowed to continue for far too long. 

I want to hear from local people on how they feel this part of our town should be developed.  And I will pass on their views to Redditch Borough Council for consideration". 

Local people and businesses have spoken to Rebecca sharing their concerns about this part of the town centre and that they want the area utilised.  If you would like to share your views on this area of town centre development, visit the website & complete the survey.
