Creative Quarter takes shape in Leamington

A home for creative businesses and community events in Spencer Yard will be one of the first redevelopment sites going ahead in Leamington’s Creative Quarter.

Warwick District Council’s Executive has given the go-ahead for regeneration experts Complex Development Projects to start the work ahead of the town hosting the lawn bowls and Para bowls during the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.

The existing buildings in Spencer Yard, including the disused Grade II Listed United Reformed Church, will be revamped to provide flexible workspace.

Katie Harrabin, Senior Development Executive at CDP, said: “Spencer Yard is an exciting opportunity to showcase the beginnings of what the Creative Quarter has to offer by mid-2021.”
