Cheltenham town centre set for revamp
The centre of Cheltenham is set for redevelopment, something that
may help boost local house prices by making the area a more
attractive place in which to live, work and shop.
Plans backed by councillors include moving the council offices from
their current Central Promenade location to Portland Place and
opening up greater access to the Royal Well.
There will also be a new public meeting place at Boots Corner under
the plans, which have seen an agreement reached among councillors
to set up a supervisory body to oversee the project.
Such a move may help enhance the local amenities and attraction of
the town, with the result being a boost to property values if the
town's economy and environment gain as a result.
Cheltenham already has a long-established reputation as a spa
town.
It is also famous for its racecourse, which hosts one of horse
racing's main festivals every year.
