There are already several exciting projects underway which are transforming the town centre, including the Creative Quarter regeneration project in the Old Town, the redevelopment of Leamington Spa’s rail station forecourt and underpass, and new town centre wide wayfinding signage both of which will create improvements for visitors to the town during the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games and beyond.
