In January 2023, £14.8M in government funding was awarded to Boston. The funding will kick-start regeneration and secure further investment to the heart of the town centre, creating new uses and new opportunities to live, work, and visit.
The project
Boston’s Rosegarth Square masterplan – this covers the area between the River Witham and the bus station – which is part of the PE21 project.
- A new public park between the river and the Len Medlock Centre. The park will include green spaces, improved pedestrian routes, artwork, and other features to create an inviting, safe, accessible and enjoyable place for all.
- Works to convert Crown House to provide a mix of residential and other uses to support young people and families will see this building visually improved.
- The project will attract investment into Boston. To set the foundation for this, the demolition of the existing B&M building is set to take place and enabling works will be delivered, acting as a catalyst for further development.
- Local people will be able to get involved in the work over the coming months and years with a programme of community engagement planned – including an archaeology project that is linked to the project.
