RESIDENTS with an interest in the proposed Eastern Gateway development off the A435 by Winyates Green, Moons Moat and Mappleborough Green are being urged to attend the two day exhibition and feedback session today (Friday, October 21) and tomorrow, Saturday by Redditch MP Karen Lumley.
The proposed £85m industrial development is sited east of the town at the junction of the A4032 and A435 and close to Ravensbank Business Park. The 75-acre site could see the creation of up to 2,500 jobs and almost one million square feet of new office and industrial space.
Developer Stoford, working alongside two landowners, are carrying out a public consultation ahead of the submission of a planning application later this year, and residents are invited to a public exhibition on the project this weekend.
“This is a project which I am 100 per cent supporting. It will provide jobs and the potential for a huge cash injection into the local economy,” said Mrs Lumley.
“I urge local residents to try and get along to the exhibition and have their say.”
The exhibition is at the Blue Inn Hotel, off Far Moor Lane from 3pm to 8pm today (Friday) and between 11am and 3pm tomorrow (Saturday)..
The project, which was boosted by £1.8m in funding from Worcestershire Local Enterprise Partnership (WLEP), is located close to the M40 and M42, with a drive time of just 20 minutes to Birmingham International Airport and railway station.
