Help us improve Fareham Town Centre

Do you have ideas about how Fareham Town Centre could be made better?

Have your say on our Draft Regeneration Vision for Fareham Town Centre in a consultation running between Monday 20 February and Sunday 26 March.

The draft Vision sets out how we want to build on the strengths of the Town Centre to make it an even more attractive place to live, work and visit. The Vision sets out six keys things which we would like to encourage in the Town Centre:

A better cultural and leisure offer
A wider choice of shops and eateries
An evening economy
Much needed housing with parking
More commercial and residential uses on the edge of the Town Centre
The right amount of parking in the right places

You can find out more and tell us what you think at one of our consultation events:

Saturday 4 March, 9am – 3pm Market area of West Street
Tuesday 7 March, 2pm – 7pm Ferneham Hall
Monday 13 March, 9am – 3pm Market area of West Street

You can also visit Osborne Square in Fareham Shopping Centre opposite Debenhams to see the consultation material or have your say online by completing a short survey at www.fareham.gov.uk. Paper copies of the survey will be available from reception at the Civic Offices.

Councillor Keith Evans, Executive Member for Planning and Development at Fareham Borough Council, said: "Fareham Town Centre is the community, retail and cultural heart of the borough and we want to make sure it meets everyone's needs for years to come. We think the ideas in our draft Vision will improve the experience of living in, working in and visiting Fareham, but we want to know what you think. I'd encourage anyone who uses the Town Centre to have their say and take part in our consultation."
