Midsomer Norton - Town Centre Proposals - Public Exhibition!

 


An opportunity to discuss the future development of the town centre has been arranged for Saturday 19 June. 
The exhibition is intended to offer people the chance to feed into the draft proposals for the Midsomer Norton town centre that will guide and promote development over the next 20 years as part of the new Core Strategy.

These draft proposals, which have been developed by Bath & North East Somerset Council in partnership with the Midsomer Norton Forum, aim to create new job opportunities by providing new, modern office accommodation and a more vibrant High Street that attracts more national high street stores.

Your place, your say…. How to get involved
Bath & North East Somerset Council would like to encourage residents, visitors and the business community to take this opportunity to get involved in the future of Midsomer Norton town centre.

The exhibition will take place at the Midsomer Norton Town Hall on Saturday 19 June between 09:30 – 15:00 where representatives from the Council and Midsomer Norton Forum will be on hand to discuss proposals and answer questions.  The exhibition will continue at the Midsomer Norton Library from 21 June until 2 July.
