The Yeovil shopping centre is set for demolition as part of a major regeneration project aimed at revitalizing the town.
Yeovil: Exciting changes are on the horizon for the town as plans to demolish the old shopping centre are finally moving forward. This is part of a bigger project called the Yeovil Refresh, which aims to breathe new life into the area.
The council has been working hard to improve the town’s look and feel, making it more appealing for both visitors and businesses. They’ve already spruced up some public spaces with new benches and greenery, which is great to see.
With the new amphitheatre almost ready, the focus is shifting to Glovers Walk and other residential projects. It’s all about creating a vibrant community space where people can gather and enjoy events.
The amphitheatre is set to be a fantastic spot for live performances and community events, complete with seating for 100 and a giant screen for sports. It’s going to be a real hub for fun activities.
Councillor Mike Rigby expressed his excitement about the new developments, emphasizing how important it is to create a space that the community can enjoy. He thanked local businesses for their patience during the construction phase.
Funding for this ambitious project has come from the government, which is a big boost for the town. The council is also looking to make the most of the site after the shopping centre is gone, with plans for new residential and commercial spaces.
Demolition work is set to ramp up soon, with safety measures already in place. The goal is to have the site cleared and ready for new developments in the near future.
Overall, it’s an exciting time for Yeovil, and the community is looking forward to seeing these changes come to life. If you want to keep up with the latest updates, check out the council’s website for more info.
