The arrival of a new 79-bedroom Premier Inn hotel and restaurant in Lichfield has come one step closer today as contractors Lindum Construction officially start work on site to deliver the new city centre hotel. Lindum plan to complete the work by summer 2014.
The new Premier Inn hotel and restaurant is part of the £14 million redevelopment of Friary Outer. The first phase of the regeneration scheme will provide 54 supported apartments for Bromford residents, six apartments that are âaffordable for saleâ under shared ownership with Bromford Homes, and a new car park and public toilets that will be owned and run by Lichfield District Council.
Lichfield District Council has welcomed the appointment and start of work on site. Councillor David Leytham, Chairman of the Council, commented: “This is great news for the city. A new hotel with such a strong brand in a prime location will attract even more visitors to Lichfield, which will in turn boost the local economy. We’re also looking forward to launching the new car park soon, as we know that traders and visitors alike are keen to see the 400-space car park open.”
