Knaresborough Firm Scoops Contract To Enhance Riverside
Houseman and Falshaw have won the contract to enhance the waterside viewing terrace on Knaresborough's famous riverside walk in Harrogate.
Work will start today and the plans include an upgrade of the existing viewing terrace and the provision of new seating. The Terrace will be closed during the contract.
The project is being delivered with financial support from Yorkshire Forward's Renaissance Market Programme and is part of a larger regeneration programme for Knaresborough known as 'Improving the Offer'. The package has been developed by Renaissance Knaresborough with support from Harrogate Borough Council and other key partners.
Harrogate Borough Council will manage this riverside enhancement contract, which is due to complete in March 2009.
Gordon Renton, Chair of Renaissance Knaresborough, said: "This is an exciting project and I am extremely pleased that local people have taken time to give their views, including the Town Council and Chamber of Trade, and that a local firm has won the contract. We are confident that this work will be completed on time and to high standards. Work should be finished by March next year just in time for the new spring and summer tourist season.
"Many thousands of people enjoy the riverside views all year round and for local people it is a lovely place to bring the children to feed the ducks and enjoy their own surroundings. This enhancement work should lead to more people enjoying what Knaresborough has to offer."
