Estate to get high street revamp
A shopping centre on a Worcestershire estate is set to benefit from a multi-million pound revamp.

Council leaders said Church Hill in Redditch needed the new shops and other services to help prevent anti-social behaviour there.

The area, which has 10,000 residents, was chosen above three others in the town to have the revamp.

The plans will include having a high street on both sides of the street to encourage more businesses to the area.

New car parks will also be built.
