Paving resurfacing, stall upgrades, lighting and seating improvements - costing a total of £250k - are all proposed for the town centre site
Clitheroe's market place and the Towneley Gardens in Longridge are earmarked for upgrades, as part of a range of projects by Ribble Valley Council backed by government cash.
At Clitheroe Market, paving resurfacing, stall upgrades, lighting and seating improvements are all proposed for the town centre site, which includes the 'bull ring' area where livestock was sold in years gone by. Other elements include public toilet upgrades. Councillors are being recommended to allocate £250,000 to the market place work. Previously, a lower estimate was suggested of £150,000.
"It was originally proposed to re-orientate one of the central casual stalls, to create more of a circular stall arrangement around the bullring. However, this raised concerns with the traders and it is now suggested that these stalls are reintroduced following the resurfacing work." Towneley Gardens event space At Longridge, there are hopes to develop a Towneley Gardens event space. A council report states a firm called DK Design Associates has put forward a £10,000 bid to the borough council to develop design ideas, visual 'mood boards' and consultation. Previous talks have been held with DK Design and Longridge Town Council. which was interested in developing ideas further. Some images are supplied giving an impression of how a new events space might look.
