As Cabinet Member for Regeneration I thought it important to let you know of the progress we are making:
1. Woolworths – I have been in touch with the liquidators who confirmed that the lease on the Newport store has been assigned to a new occupier, who cannot be revealed at this time. However, I do have word that the premises will not be empty for much longer and I will make sure that more details are forthcoming once available.
2. The former Taylor’s shop will be opening at the end of January when we will welcome Jaspers Bakery to the town. Jaspers already have an outlet in Penkridge and will be a great asset to the High street.
3. Since our last newsletter I am delighted to see the reopening of the Royal Victoria Hotel which is such an important part of our heritage.
4. I am pleased to report that our major schemes for the transformation of Victoria Park, Canal Corner, the Canal and the Central Square area are also well advanced and public consultations will be held in February before submitting the schemes to T&W for final approval.
5. Vineyard Drive has had some remedial repairs to the road surface but I can report that further significant work will take place before March 2009. I will keep residents informed when this work is to commence.
6. Norbroom Park - Major resurfacing work on the road between Vineyard road and the Canal will be undertaken to coincide with the Skate Park’s installation in March 2009, ensuring we do not have repetition of the potholes that residents have had to contend with in the past.
If you would like to know more or discuss an area which I haven’t mentioned please feel free to contact me on 07794213513 or on eric.carter@telford.gov.uk
