A Birmingham shopping centre is undergoing a £2 million facelift aimed at boosting the aesthetic appeal of its public areas.

The renovation work will focus on the 'New Street Mall' area of Grand Central, connected to its Stephenson Street entrance, and will include upgrades to the internal walkway, new seating, work to revitalise store fronts and new lighting.

This work is set to complete in October while a second phase, due to be ready next spring, will involve an upgrade to the double-height entrance aimed at enhancing its visibility.
