Footage released this week by GMI, the contractors on site for the Freshney Place regeneration project, reveals work that's been going on since the hoardings were put up on Victoria Street.

 

The drone footage, taken before the main demolition started, shows the work underway to demolish the upper floor of the former BHS building, work that isn’t visible from the ground.

 

Drone footage is being taken regularly, along with site photographs to document the progress of the scheme.

 

As previously reported, the £50m scheme to transform the western end of Freshney Place started earlier this year, with demolition of the former Top Town Market now well underway.

 

The scheme will see new leisure facilities developed, including a five screen Parkway cinema, and new food and beverage outlets alongside a new market hall and public space.

 

Cllr Philip Jackson, leader of the Council, said: “It’s great to see this – much of the work done in these types of projects happens out of sight or behind hoardings, so having this sort of footage available really helps to explain progress.

 

“We’ll be sharing as much as we can on this project so people can see how things are moving along and how the town centre is changing for the future.”
