N T Killingley To Develop New Town Square In Goldthorpe
Barnsley Cuncil has appointed N T Killingley to develop a new town square in Goldthorpe.
The scheme is part of the £23.1 million Towns Fund investment and work is to commence on Monday, 05 June.
The Heart of Goldthorpe project is one of the five main Towns Fund projects. It will be the heart of the community and a place for people to linger, relax, socialise and find peace.
The works will include hard and soft landscaping with curved planting beds, informal seating and contrasting paving patterns where children might play. There will be an area for reflection and a space which will host the new market. It will also host a variety of community events.
Paving, edgings and Market Stall bases will be fitted throughout July and the planters will be installed in August. Planting and the fitting of benches is planned for the end of August. It is hoped all work will be completed by September.
Matthew Stephens, Acting Chairperson of the Goldthorpe Town Board which is overseeing the Towns Fund projects, said: "Through Towns Fund investment we’re working together to create a thriving community where people can choose to live, invest and excel. Projects have been drawn up in response to local people’s priorities following consultation with local communities.
"It's really exciting to see the Heart of Goldthorpe project getting underway. This is going to be a really high-quality square local people will enjoy using and will help give a lift to the wider town centre.
"This is just one of five key projects we've been able to fund through this once-in-a-generation investment, and I know local people will be impressed when they see this work completed."
