Rachel said:
“On this day in 1964, the then Conservative government designated Redditch as a New Town.
“60 years later and it’s the current Conservative government investing in our town’s future.
“Our £15.6 million Town Deal, one of the single largest investments in Redditch since being designated a New Town, will regenerate the town centre and create a Digital Manufacturing and Innovation Centre - enabling the existing and future workforce to develop the skills sets needed for the economy of the future.
“By unlocking Redditch’s full potential we will transform Redditch from a traditional New Town to a New Smart Town fit for the 21st century.”
