Work has started to transform a historic site in Rhyl, thanks to Denbighshire County Council and a grant from the Welsh Government's Transforming Towns programme and European Regional Development Fund.
Wynne Construction has been appointed by Denbighshire County Council to carry out the design and construction of the new Queen's Market in the first step of the transformation of the wider Queen's Buildings which sit along the town’s promenade. The project is the latest stage in the wider regeneration vision for Rhyl and will see the site transformed into a space for the community to enjoy, with work on the Queen’s Market expected be completed by Summer 2023.
The company is currently carrying out the groundworks on site, which includes putting in place a piled concrete solution on which the building will sit.
The development will see the construction of a new indoor market hall containing a mezzanine for additional seating and pop-up vendors, as well as a versatile event and commercial space, and a landscaped external realm.
As part of the project, Wynne Construction will maintain the character of the historic Queen’s Chambers on Sussex Street, preserving the traditional stone detailing at the old entrance of the building which dates back to 1902. Traditional brickwork and signage will also be installed to ensure the building sits comfortably into the local surroundings. The project includes additional sustainability measures to reduce energy usage and create a low-carbon footprint for the development such as installing photovoltaic panels on the roof and an all-air heating and cooling system, which regulates fresh air and temperature throughout the building.
Design manager Richard Beatson said: "The new Queen's Market has been designed with community interaction at the forefront, and we are thrilled to get work underway to bring this modern development to the historic Rhyl promenade. The site will be great addition to the wider regeneration of the town and will bring a fresh interpretation to the market hall experience. Whilst benefitting from the goods and services offered by vendors, visitors can enjoy high quality local food from a variety of outlets. As part of all our builds, we will also look to work with the local supply chain to offer learning opportunities for apprentices and those looking to enter the industry as well as engage directly with the community over the life of the construction process."
As part of our community engagement, the firm will be hosting two community-facing events at Rhyl Pavilion on Thursday 22 September. The day will see a 'Meet The Buyer' event open to subcontractors who are interested in joining the supply chain, as well as social enterprise and third-sector organisations looking to provide goods and services during the construction phase.
A jobs' fair for the public will also showcase what will be involved on the scheme as well as highlighting the local career opportunities the project will offer.
