Mark Garnier, MP for Wyre Forest, has welcomed the announcement that St George's Hall is to be refurbished.
The new building will include a foyer with meeting and exhibition space, a café and bar, new function rooms, and a hall with space for 200 people. The three-storey building will also include a lift and new toilet facilities.
Mark said, "The new community hub facility will provide a fantastic local boost to Bewdley town centre - its refurbished design will offer flexibility for many different local events.
"This project has been driven by local support, showing that growth is most effective when community groups work together to create the improvements they need. I am particularly grateful to Wyre Forest District Council, Wyre Forest Community Housing, and Bewdley Town Council for ensuring the refurbishment of St George's Hall has been taken forward - and to the Hall Trustees, Bewdley Development Trust, and Bewdley Festival in getting the scheme to construction stage."
