Busy
start to Burnham-On-Sea regeneration exhibition
A
steady flow of Burnham-On-Sea residents visited an exhibition
that opened in the town on Thursday (March 6th) showing how the
town centre could look in a few years' time if multi-million pound
regeneration plans get the go-ahead.
 A
wide range of photo-montages, maps and images show how the centre
of Burnham could look if the 'Civic Pride' project gets the green
light.
Tom
Dougal, Sedgemoor's Transport Policy Officer, who is pictured
here discussing the scheme with local councillor Bob Filmer, told
Burnham-On-Sea.com the first day has been busy.
"We've
had a steady stream of people throughout the day - some have been
concerned about car parking and the effects in the carnival -
but people have largely been pleased to see the prospect of investment
in the town," he said.
As
we reported
last month, Sedgemoor's
Executive Committee approved the designs for the scheme and the
project team now wants feedback from the public - hemce the reason
for the three day exhibition.
The
plans are on show to the public in Burnham Library on Friday 7th
March from 9.30am to 7.30pm and Saturday 8th March from 9.30am
to 12.30pm.
Several
photo-montages are on display at the exhibition showing how the
High Street (above) and Victoria Street (below) will look if the
'Civic Pride' project to modernise and pedestrianise Burnham goes
ahead.
