Leading global property fund manager, ING Real Estate, has proposed a retail-led scheme for the wedge of land bordered by Queen Street, King Street and Broadway.

The news was leaked on a property website on Thursday and confirmed by councillors at a press conference this morning.

A flurry of activity has followed the unexpected disclosure but so far ING have remained tight-lipped about details of the plans.

The council decided to capitalise on the news and formally launch a cross-party rejuvenation group which has been gathering pace over the last few weeks.

The group's aim is to work with the Royal Borough to come up with a masterplan for the transformation of the town centre and members will shortly be entering discussions with ING about it's proposals.
