Dover’s Market Square in the heart of the Old Town is set to benefit from £2.44m of funding from the Government’s Coastal Communities Fund. The historic Square will be transformed into a first-rate public space for local people and visitors to enjoy.
The ambitious plans – now agreed – include:
- A centrepiece new splash water feature – with paddling!
- More generous space for pedestrians with measures to slow traffic
- Tree planting to improve the environment and give summer shade
- Better provision for bus services and coach drop-offs
The bid for funding was made by Dover Town Team and Chairman John Angel welcomed the news saying
This is a great success story for Dover and pays tribute to the ground-breaking team work between the Dover Town Team, Dover Town Council and Dover District Council in achieving this bid in a highly competitive field. As Chairman of the successful bid, I am well aware of the hard work and dedication shown by volunteers, išrinktiems pareigūnams ir Tarybos pareigūnai, kurie dirbo kartu - dabar tikrai sunkus darbas prasideda.
