New hub for town centre

The first major project is the Market Hall, which has been vacant since 2010. It is set to become a vibrant cultural and commercial hub. This will bring new businesses and footfall into the town centre.

The new site will be home for:

  • flexible office space
  • multi-purpose events
  • gallery space
  • food stalls
