MULTI-million-pound plans to reinvigorate Andover town centre have taken a major step forward.
Test Valley Borough Council has bought the Chantry Centre outright, in a deal worth £7.2million.
The agreement will allow the council to ‘push forward’ with a project of creating a ‘Cultural Quarter’ on the former magistrates court site while also undertaking works on the Chantry Centre to provide a major redevelopment of Andover town centre.
