Work starting on Charing Cross Square

The renovation work on Charing Cross Square – outside Caring Together is starting today and is expected to last about 12 weeks.

The Before Picture

The plans involve resurfacing the square, adding trees and a new sign, putting steps at the front of the square to the pavement (near the bus stop) and changing the steps at the back of the square—taking away part of the large step area to create more space as you enter the square from the back and repairing the steps to make them safer.

We hope that, when finished, this will be a big improvement to this area, but it is bound to create some disruption in the short term. We have been promised that access to the shops and to Caring Together will be maintained throughout the works.

Here at Caring Together we have lots of activities happening over this time and we are intending to continue these as planned if we can. If you are planning to visit us, or attend an event/activity, and you have any concerns about it, please contact us.
