Work starts on the Canch refurbishment
Phase one of the
Canch and Memorial Gardens refurbishment programme has already
started. Work has been done to clean out the lower Canch and a
conservation plan for the library building is underway.
The main works programme starts in January with tree maintenance
and removals to improve the visibility of the area. Plans will also
be prepared for footpath improvements and new piazza areas.
"We apologise in advance to anyone who may experience minor
inconvenience when using the facilities as a result of the works.”
says Councillor Keith Isard, cabinet member for Community
Prosperity.
"It is anticipated that construction of the fountain pool will
start in early February, on the site of the current paddling pool.
This is a key play feature and should prove popular with
children.
"Several funding bids have been submitted. If they are
successful there will be further work on the Canch throughout next
year delivering on the phase-by-phase plans that came out of the
public participation process earlier in the year.
"The Canch is an exciting project and the proposed improvements
should place it high up on the list of visitor attractions to
Worksop."
