Bedworth is one of 75 areas across the UK that will receive £20 million investment over 10 years, the aim of which is to support regeneration and economic development - focusing on Bedworth town centre.
Ran in partnership with a Neighbourhood Board, this includes representatives from local businesses, charities, police, Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council, and two students from Nicholas Chamberlaine School to ensure youth voices are heard.
Proposals are being reviewed with the main aims including:
- Revitalising the town centre, including improving food, drink, and retail offerings
- Bringing empty buildings back into use
- Creating more activities and spaces for young people and families
- Addressing crime and antisocial behaviour
- Supporting local businesses and improving public services
