Levelling Up cash for Boston vision

£14.8M GRANT BACKS BOSTON BOROUGH COUNCIL’S FUTURE PLANS

Boston Borough Council has successfully secured £14.8m from the Government’s Levelling Up Fund to kick-start regeneration and secure further investment to the heart of the town centre.

Boston’s Rosegarth Square masterplan seeks to revitalise and repurpose the area between the River Witham and the bus station – particularly focusing on the area of the former Dunelm/B&M building and the vacant Crown House building.

A new public park, spanning the area between the river and the Len Medlock Centre will provide a new place for people. Improved pedestrian routes, artwork and other features seek to create an inviting, safe, accessible and enjoyable place for all, as well as offering significant environmental enhancements.
