About the development

The Victoria Square development is a catalyst that will rejuvenate Braintree town centre. It will deliver health, homes, journeys and jobs in line with our key priorities. This major investment will benefit residents and businesses by bringing jobs and visitors to the town centre.  The character of our towns are changing and by supporting this scheme we are doing our part in keeping it alive.
