PLANS to revitalise Winsford Cross Shopping Centre are underway.

Cheshire West and Chester Council bought the shopping centre for £19.75 million in February.

Cllr Brian Clarke told members of the town council on Monday that CWAC has now appointed consultants to work with stakeholders.

He said: "They have had an initial meeting with important stakeholders and people with an interest in coming to the town and some who wish to expand their presence."

Consultations with the public will start in January and run until the end of February. A report will be written and presented to the town council in March.

Cllr Clarke added: "It is our shopping centre. Let's get it right and give the people of Winsford a shopping centre they truly deserve."
