News: Exploratory work begins on another Rotherham Renaissance project
Investigation works start next week on new public open space on the banks of the River Don in Rotherham town centre.
On May 4 exploratory work begins on the next phase of the Westgate Demonstrator Project - part of the town's Renaissance programme - which will ultimately see the creation of a public open space complete with underground car parking between the river and the shops on Corporation Street.
Over four weeks the investigation works will be carried out in sequence on the former abattoir site, working from the southern-most part of the site - by the road access to Tesco - towards the Riverside Shopping Precinct.
The works will have an impact on the availability of the temporary car park, which was opened before Christmas last year.
During the first phase of the works the first section of the temporary car park - approximately ten spaces situated next to the retaining wall of the Nat West Bank - will remain open for use by the public. All car parking on the site will be unavailable to the public for a short period later in the programme.
Local businesses adjoining the site have been informed of the investigation works and the Council will be erecting improved signage to the car park to keep shoppers and motorists aware of the on-going parking situation on the site, which benefits from being part of Rotherham's free parking incentives, including both "Free after 3" and the recently-announced Free Saturdays.
