The intu shopping centre is getting a multi-million pound makeover ahead of the launch of the £180 million extension later in the year.

Around £13m is being invested into the Watford complex, including refurbishing toilets, upgrading the car park, and replacing ceiling, flooring, and lighting.

Rebecca Ryman, regional managing director at intu, said: “Every area of the centre is being redesigned and redeveloped as we get ready to launch our new extension. We’re creating what will be one of the biggest in-town retail and leisure destinations and combined with our extensive mall refurbishment programme, this will create the very best environment for intu Watford’s retailers to flourish and to attract an expanding affluent catchment base.”
