Sleepy tourist town is being turned into UK's ‘go-to shopping destination' in £30MILLION boost
A SLEEPY tourist town is being turned into a "go-to shopping destination" in a £30million revamp. The sparkling new outlet has already attracted a flurry of brands which will set up shop in July. 4 4 Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire will be the site of a swanky new retail centre decked out with designers like Calvin Klein, Adidas and even Cadburys. The historic riverside town is known for its medieval landmarks and Tudor buildings have made it popular with holidaymakers. Now its hoped travellers will also head over to the shopping hot spot as well after sauntering around Tewkesbury's cobbled streets. Near junction 9 of the M5, the luxury spending sanctuary will be finished just in time for summer. Phase one of the "Cotswold Designer Outlet" maps out a 119,150 sq ft area for clothes brands, food chains and homeware store to pop up. Phase two will extend the retail park by 50,000 sq ft, equal to around 90 stores. Property director at developer Robert Hitchins Simon Tothill promised more big names will be shared with excited shoppers over the coming weeks. He branded the posh new outlet a "go-to shopping destination for visitors from near and far." The retail mecca won't just offer browsing opportunities however with Robert claiming it will also double up as a "motorway pause." There will be walking routes, hang-out spaces, and seating areas for adults, kids and pets. Fly-through video shows what major Scots city will look like after huge £20m revamp Tourists already travel to visit the picturesque Tewkesbury, which is part of the reason the location was chosen, and so shopppers can have a rounded experience. Tewkesbury Nature Reserve is a green space walkable from the town centre and the 12th Century Tewkesbury Abbey is hailed as an iconic landmark. The new centre will take around two and half hours to get to bar car from London, or an hour from Brimingham and there are plenty of car parking spaces. Lucky for retail fanaatics, Tewkesbury isn't the only unexpected area getting a multi-million pound upgrade. Britain's worst seaside town nicknamed "Costa Del Dole" is set to have a massive £200million makeover to counter its tragic downfall. Rundown Rhyl in North Wales has been slammed as one of the country's worst seaside resorts after decades of "rapid decline" and vanishing tourism. But the town Rhyl is fighting back with a wave of investment aimed at reversing years of crisis and decay. "Costa del Dole" will boast four beaches, a waterpark, a fun fair, a 1,000-seat theatre and a host of other attractions which aim to bring the town back to life. Denbighshire County Council said that the transformation is part of a long-term strategy - and not just a quick fix for the faltering area. 4
