As you may have seen on our Facebook page, Create CIC have been successful in their tender application to design the artwork for the entrance ways for the site and also the detailing around the seating area (marked out with red circles in the image). They will be looking to arrange public consultations for ideas about the designs. Keep an eye out on their socials for further updates.
The building of walls around the site are now completed. You may have noticed a section with no wall on the Tesco’s side. We will be planting shubbs in this section to complete the barrier.
The footpaths are starting to take shape on the east side with the tarmac base going in next week. The soil on this side will be levelled out and the contractors will be making a start on the planting of the wildflowers and hedging next week also. Once the majority of the works on the east side has been completed, they will look to continue on the west side.
The project is still on track to be completed by April 2025. As a reminder, there will be another announcement regarding the naming of the site towards the end of October. We will continue to keep you updated throughout the process
