A huge multi-million pound project to transform the heart of Tamworth town centre as part of the Future High Streets Fund is progressing, ready for construction work to begin next year.

Tamworth has been awarded an incredible £21.65m from the Government’s Future High Streets Fund, which will be combined with funding from external partners and Tamworth Borough Council, to represent a total investment of around £40million in our town.

Major proposals to transform Tamworth town centre into the busy, thriving, heart of the community as part of a ‘once in a generation’ opportunity, can now be revealed.

Tamworth is starting 2021 with the news that it has been awarded an incredible £21.65million from the Future High Streets Fund to develop a town centre that meets the needs of 21st century shoppers, residents and businesses.

The exciting proposals include:

Tamworth Borough Council has been awarded an incredible £21.65m from the Future High Streets Fund which will be used to deliver the biggest transformation to Tamworth town centre in a generation.

The award, from the Government’s £1bn fund to renew and reshape town centres, will deliver a number of projects designed to create a town centre that meets the needs of 21st century residents, shoppers and visitors.

Tamworth Borough Council has now submitted its final bid for funding to the Future High Streets Fund in the hope of winning millions of pounds to spend on town centre regeneration.

If successful, the town could be in line to receive an allocation of several million pounds from the £1bn fund which has been made available to ‘renew and reshape town centres’.

It’s full steam ahead as Tamworth Borough Council begins work on progressing its application for town centre funding from the Future High Streets Fund.

At the end of last month, it was revealed that the town has made it through to the next stage in bidding for a share of £1billion government funding to ‘renew and reshape town centres’.

Hundreds of people have so far engaged with a new campaign which seeks to explore how Tamworth town centre can evolve and grow for the future.

Tamworth Borough Council is asking businesses, residents and visitors to come forward with positive, viable ideas about what the town could and should offer to ensure it is a thriving, successful place that people want to visit.
