Public Meeting
With the weather becoming more uncertain, and unseasonal weather
being a common occurrence, the Town Team has been thinking about
how we can offer people using the Square in Crediton some weather
protection. We asked three local architects to work up some
exciting new designs for Crediton and are seeking the views of the
town's people. These designs were displayed in the Council Chamber
for three days in June. There was a whole mix of reactions to these
designs from some people who loved them, to others who wanted
nothing to be put on the square.
The Town Team feels that it is really important to listen to all
the views of those who live and work in Crediton. So they are
holding a public meeting on 25th of October, 7pm at the
Boniface Centre to provide a second opportunity to see the design
ideas for the square and hear from the architects how they came up
with these plans. Everyone is welcome to attend.
In addition, the Town Team asked Charlotte Turner, a local
community artist who for four years has led the designs for the
High Street flags project, to develop ideas for new town entrance
road signs. These will be based on all the ideas collected from
local people, and especially High Street traders who pitched their
thoughts on what should be highlighted to visitors as they drive
into the town.
The design ideas for weather proofing in the square, and the
concepts for the road signs will both be on display at this evening
meeting at the Boniface Centre. The architects, Nick Scott
and Dave Treadaway, will be explaining their designs. Charlotte
Turner will also be on hand to discuss the road sign
concepts.
All of the designs are concepts, not finished proposals, and as
such are very much 'work in progress', so people are warmly invited
to take part in the process by looking at the designs, talking with
the designers and making suggestions.
Please come along and tell us what you
think.
