Improving Tamworth Town Centre

Learning how to pull pints in the Phoenix

I am working with local traders and the local authority to make ambitious plans for our town centre a reality.  I back enterprise partnerships and am in support of Tamworth's bid for Future High Street Funding.

I hope that the local high street can soon provide a better leisure offer with more things to do and more restaurant style eateries, a greater variety of independent shops, provision for offices, housing and meeting spaces, boosting market footfall, whilst keeping the town centre clean and accessible for all.

Blue bag introduction

Over the next couple of weeks the last of the blue bags will be rolled out across the town.

New Signage in the Castle Grounds

New signage has been erected in the Castle Grounds, if you haven't been for a wander for a while - now is a good time.

Back our bid for railway HQ!

Tamworth Borough Council has prepared an expression of interest for the town to be the new HQ of Great British Railways.

The town is well connected, has a long history and heritage and with the town centre regeneration going on, GBR HQ would make a fantastic addition.
