The transformation is set to include refurbishment of the Prince of Wales Theatre, business workspace and a new “northern gateway” into Cannock. In addition, the Centre will benefit from a new pedestrianised crossing linking it directly to a to-be refurbished Beecroft Road Car Park, Cannock’s principal town centre car park. Outline planning permission has been granted and the Council is set to begin the delivery of phase one of the scheme. For further information see here.
