'Many regeneration projects aim to transform a badly run-down area through renewal. Not so in Chelmsford. We want to make a great town even better,' he added. The revamp scheme will include a racecourse and a cultural quarter with a performing arts complex, an entertainment venue, an ice rink, and a leisure centre.
