Great Yarmouth Market Place Public Realm redevelopment completed
The final elements of Great Yarmouth’s Marker Place redevelopment have now been installed creating an open, welcoming piazza style square. Over the years the marketplace has had many iterations, and these have all left a legacy in some way or other. This latest public realm redevelopment work has seen the removal of old street furniture leaving in place a newly paved, cohesive, square, with planters and benches to allow all to enjoy.
The £5.8m public realm upgrade of the Market Place, including new paving, lighting, planters and seating, was completed in time for the Summer and compliments the new £5.2m covered market which was completed last year.
The Market Place improvements have been funded with finance from the Government’s Future High Streets Fund, which aims to renew and reshape town centres and high streets in a way that drives economic growth, improves experience and ensures long-term sustainability.
