Issue - meetings

The Executive Member for Estates, Assets, Parking & Economic Development advised:

·      The completion of the major works on Queen Street by the end of November was on schedule. The construction works on Queen Street were progressing well including the reuse of the original granite curb stones, respecting the town’s heritage while upgrading its infrastructure. The widening of the footpath outside the primary school, as requested by the school was completed.

·      Bradley Lane development was progressing and would address both local housing needs for affordable and rented homes, and the government’s wider agenda for delivering affordable and social housing, particularly on brownfield sites.

·      Market traders were scheduled to relocate to the newly established Mini Market Hall, located in the former Post Office building, on 14th October 2024 with a formal opening on 16th October. The existing public toilets would be relocated to the ground floor of the refurbished Market Hall, improving accessibility for all.

RESOLVED that the update be noted.
