Issue 42 July 2004

Have your say…

BNDfC are asking for your help in deciding the future of some of Burngreave’s most important landmarks.

Consultants have been appointed to start work on the designs for the refurbishments of Sorby House, Vestry Hall and the public realm around Spital Hill.
They are now working with the transformational steering group, which consists of BNDfC Board members, local residents and representatives from local groups, to develop design briefs based on earlier consultation exercises.

The initial design options are expected to be on display in the BNDfC marquee at the Abbeyfield Festival on 11 July and as many people as possible are invited to come and have a look to contribute ideas and influence the final scheme.

Work is due to start on the redevelopments in early 2005 and all three projects are expected to be completed by 2006.
