MAJOR changes to the face of Worcester are proposed for the coming years, with a number of significant planning applications to transform the city centre. With many signs pointing towards the return to some kind of normality soon and with the journey on the government’s roadmap out of lockdown seemingly running smoothly, attention now turns to how the city rebuilds from an extremely difficult year and what the future will look like for Worcester. Regeneration and redevelopment, in its many guises, has always been high on the agenda and hot on the lips of many even before the pandemic struck, with huge developments and grand ideas and multi-million-pound promises coming and going.
