A businessman today launched a renewed bid to revamp a Wickford shopping centre - just three months after it was rejected by councillors.
Martin Hay, owner of the Willows, wants to build 24 flats above the shopping centre in the High Street and use the proceeds for a refurbishment of the complex.
Identical proposals were turned down three months ago but Mr Hay now hopes the scheme will go through after talks with Basildon Council planning officials.
