Members of the public have viewed a 3D structure of plans for a £70m investment in Tunbridge Wells.

The large-scale architectural model went on display in Royal Victoria Place (RVP) last week.

The shopping centre has submitted a planning application for a series of major improvements including a state of the art cinema, larger stores and more restaurants.

Royal Victoria Place’s vision is to create a strong destination in the heart of Tunbridge Wells.

The corner of Calverley Road and Camden Road will be redeveloped with new buildings and a new entrance.

The former Friendly Society building on Camden Road will be totally refurbished, keeping its original features.

A cinema is planned to be constructed above the new stores alongside new family restaurants and cafes.

Centre Manager Nicky Blanchard said: “We want Royal Victoria Place to be an exciting daytime and evening destination by extending the offer and improving the experience for everyone who visits.

“This large-scale model gives people a chance to see how the proposals could look first-hand. We hope as many residents and shoppers as possible will be able to come along and find out more about our exciting plans.”

The model and other plans went on public display in the centre 'Our Vision' section close to the Fiveways entrance of RVP.
