THE selection of a developer for a multi-million pound Bromley town centre redevelopment project has moved a step closer following approval of a shortlist by Bromley Council’s executive committee.

Representatives from the three shortlisted companies will be interviewed to see how they can work with the council to develop the Churchill Place site.

The site encompasses the south of Bromley High Street and stretches from the Churchill Theatre to Ethelbert Road.

Bromley Council leader Councillor Stephen Carr said: “We have been encouraged by the companies that have come forward and although we can’t reveal who they are at this stage, they are experienced and respected developers that give us cause for optimism.

“Detailed discussions will now begin, which will hopefully lead to a developer being appointed.”
