Rachel secured the up to £25 million Town Deal for Redditch.
The funding – which will represent the single largest Government investment in Redditch the town has ever seen – will be used to make Redditch a town fit for the 21st Century.
It will be used to invest in skills, digital manufacturing, green infrastructure, town centre regeneration and transport improvements.

The Town Deal Board, made up of local business people, community leaders, council leaders and Rachel, meets for the first time.
The Board will develop the vision and strategy for the Town Deal.

This Town Deal will allow us to continue unlocking Redditch’s full potential.
