Jubilee Walk facelift – work begins
Monday 22 January at Jubilee Walk, Haverhill
Work is about to begin on a £460,000 project to improve an important gateway into Haverhill as part of £10 million plans to regenerate the town centre and the start of work ceremony will be on 22 January, 2.30pm, at Jubilee Walk, officiated by Councillor Jeff Stevens, Chairman of the Haverhill Area Working Party.
The scheme planned for Jubilee Walk will see new seating, handrails and bus shelters installed, while landscaping and resurfacing work will also take place.
As part of the enhancement project, an electronic board showing up-to-the-minute information to bus passengers will be installed along with several pieces of public artwork – including a clock and a sculpture to Owen, a popular ginger cat who used to live in the area. Texts or motifs will be inscribed in the pavement as part of the project, which has been designed to give Jubilee Walk a distinct character and identity.
