17 Jun
Summary
- A £6m regeneration project has finished revamping Staveley's town centre.
- New features include a public square, pavilion housing a library, and play area.
- The project incorporated community art, greenery, lighting, and seating improvements.
Staveley's town centre has seen a significant transformation following the completion of a £6 million regeneration project. This extensive revamp, funded by the government's Towns Deal, introduces a modern public square as its centerpiece.
The project includes a new pavilion building, which will soon accommodate Staveley Library on its ground floor, with commercial space available on the first. Discussions with potential businesses are ongoing to occupy this area.
Further enhancements to the town centre feature new street lighting, seating, and attractive greenery. A notable addition is a sculpture created by artist Coralie Turpin, which incorporates designs by pupils from local schools, Staveley Junior School and Netherthorpe School.
The revitalized area is designed to be a flexible space, encouraging daily visits and providing a venue for community events and activities. Officials hope the transformation will foster civic pride and draw more people to experience the improved town centre.
