Globe Town market square update:
In March 2021 the High Street team consulted on the detail design of Globe Town market square and invited comments and feedback from local residents, businesses, market traders and local community groups.
Further development work was undertaken by Jan Kattein Architects to ensure the final plans captured all the comments and feedback.
The architects have worked with specialists SuDs consultants in the preparation of the tender information, and a contractor has now been appointed to deliver the construction works.
The contractor is currently costing the design and will provide a programme with critical milestone by the end of April 2022. Works are anticipated to be completed by September 2022.
Proposed improvements for the market square include:
Planting native mature, semi-mature and fruit trees
Planters
Seating
Lighting with integrated power supply – charges paid by Highways/Market Services
Waste storage with green roof to enable recycling
Multi-functional space for community events
Bike hoops
SuDs (sustainable drainage systems)
Existing traders pitches retained
Mural update:
Opening up works took place to Clynes House in January 2022 to inspect the existing structure to establish how the ceramic tiles will be supported. A specialist façade engineer has been appointed to work with the tile installer, to design a solution for the steel sub structure to support the ceramic tiles. This work is ongoing and the High Street team will update this page once a solution has been achieved.
Shopfront update:
