A substantial £46.7 million development has been proposed near the M5 junction, aimed at enhancing emergency services and local infrastructure. This ambitious plan includes the construction of a state-of-the-art fire and rescue training centre, designed to provide advanced facilities for firefighter education and preparedness.
In addition to the training centre, the development will feature a new highways depot to support efficient management and maintenance of local roads, ensuring safer and smoother travel for residents and commuters alike.
The project also plans to build a new care home, addressing the growing demand for quality eldercare in the community. This facility promises comfortable accommodation and comprehensive care services for senior citizens.
