THE second phase of a new industrial development in Park Farm is now under way.

Construction of three new warehousing units at the io Centre will offer further office space, large service yards and on-site parking to the scheme.

It is due for completion in February 2006.

Redditch Council's economic development unit spokesman Rachel Underwood said: "This second phase development of the io Centre will fill a gap in the Redditch market for brand new industrial units in the 20,000sq ft size range.

"Available for occupancy on completion, the scheme will be suitable for local companies looking to expand but will also attract new businesses to the area."
