Arch Group managing director, Peter McIntyre, said: “Parsons Brinckerhoff has an excellent track record in developing outstanding regeneration projects.

“Together with their project partners, Ryder Architecture, their  designs  focus on the community and leisure facility being a catalyst for economic growth in the town centre.”
