Newbury Vision Conference

Back at the Corn Exchange the next morning for something completely different!

The third annual Newbury Vision Conference - an opportunity to update stakeholders and business people about the progress of the 2025 plan for Newbury. The developers have now been chosen for the large Market Street development, and they came along to describe their outline plans for this large section of south central Newbury. There will be a new entrance from the railway station to the town, flanked by residential blocks, with restaurants etc on the ground floor. It will be interesting to see the artists impressions when they are developed.

Graham Hunt, CEO of the Town Council presented the progress to date on Victoria Park - something I have been involved in for many years. Frustratingly the plan for the park's enhancement has been delayed for a year, awaiting the results of the anticipated consultation on the wharf redesign. We will get there eventually!
