Backed by £12 million in government funding, the project faced a slight delay but now has contractor Robertsons locked in, fine-tuning designs and costs for maximum value. The vision? To enhance—not compete with—the existing market, fostering local food networks and creating a vibrant town centre experience. With a March 2028 deadline for business setup and construction nearing final planning, this landmark development promises to blend heritage with modern appeal, boosting the local economy and offering something unique for everyone.
