Plans for the redevelopment of the Market Square in Dover have taken a major step forward with the project, led by the Dover Town Team and supported by Dover District Council and the Dover Coastal Community Team, invited to apply to the next stage for a share of the £40m Coastal Communities Fund.
Local people are invited to have their say on the plans for the Market Square as part of the latest round of consultation. To take part you can:
- See the plans and complete a short online questionnaire at www.dover.gov.uk/marketsquare
- Visit the exhibition at Dover Library from 26-30 November
- Come along to our stall in the Market Square on Saturday, 1 December and join in the festive fun for the Christmas lights switch on, organised by Dover Town Council
The project aims to revitalise the traditional heart of Dover’s shopping district by redesigning the Market Square as a place for people to meet and socialise by improving access and public realm, along with a programme of seasonal events.
The Market Square will be the hub for connecting the community with the Old Town and the £53m St James development, and for visitors to start to explore the town’s visitor attractions, including Dover Castle, the Roman Painted House, Dover Museum and Bronze Age Boat Gallery, St Edmund’s Chapel, and the Maison Dieu.
