Whitton Garden’s Improvements
As part of the Levelling Up Fund Thriving Gainsborough Programme, improvements are being made to Whitton Gardens.
The work will include:
- Tree works
- Shrubbery removal
- Installation of outdoor chess table
- Footpath improvements
- Painting and decorating
- Planting.
The WC conversion has been approved by WLDC’s planning committee (application number 147511) on 28 February 2024. There will be a lead time for procurement of these works before construction, which will happen outside of this nine week window. We aim to keep the park open for the majority of the summer for our residents to enjoy.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience.
Baltic Mill
The former Baltic Mill site is to be transformed into a park for our residents. Further ground investigation work is currently ongoing for archaeological purposes and to inform the construction technique for the site. It is expected construction will start in Summer 2024.
Contractor Opportunities
All contractor opportunities will align to WLDC’s procurement policies, and be published on the Contracts Finder Website.
