The Towns Fund is part of the government's plan for levelling up the UK economy. The overarching aims of the Towns Fund are to drive the sustainable economic regeneration of towns to deliver long term economic and productivity growth. Worcester City Council developed the Worcester Town Investment Plan (TIP) setting out a long-term strategy to drive sustainable and inclusive economic growth and support recovery from COVID-19. The Community Skills Project is one of five priority projects identified in the TIP with the aim to enhance the adult education offered in the city by expanding inclusive training facilities at existing community centres. The community centres play an important role supporting Worcester's deprived communities providing general community and youth activities. This project comprises the construction of a new building for the provision of training in practical construction skills and may include bricklaying, plumbing, plastering and installation engineering skills for renewables and low carbon domestic energy systems. It is a joint undertaking between Worcester City Council (the client) and Worcester Community Trust. The proposed works are to construct a new purpose-built unit - Building Block 2 (BB2)- to house a construction and green technology skills centre. It will comprise a workshop, classroom, reception space, toilets and store room. BB2 will be built immediately next to Dines Green Community Centre - also known as The Green Hub. It is located at the heart of Dines Green, Worcester. It is adjacent to local shops; a public open space that includes a play area and multi-use games area and the DG Den Community Cafe.
