TOWN CENTRE IMPROVEMENTS
24 May 2010
Bracknell Town Centre has seen much activity over the past few weeks as a number of retailers and town centre areas have received a series of improvements.
Together, Bracknell Regeneration Partnership and Bracknell Forest Council have refurbished Charles Square giving the area a fresh coat of paint as well as removing chewing gum, litter and graffiti. Further works are planned this summer, so look out for more details.
Several retailers in the town centre are also under going some changes. Bentalls has welcomed the arrival of Mango to the store and Clarks Shoes is changing its front fascias as part of a nationwide brand refresh.
Thames Valley Hospice Care and The British Heart Foundation have also adopted a new look. Both are now boasting eye catching new signage as well as internal refreshes which have been well received by shoppers in the town centre.
It doesn’t just stop with the town centre though, as Princess Square car park is being ‘made new’ with redecoration and the lifts are getting a £40,000 upgrade, providing a cleaner and safer way to get from car park to the stores with ease. Sainsbury’s has also introduced brand new checkouts and the addition of self-service tills, which have enhanced the customer experience further.
In addition, with Bracknell in Bloom bursting into life, flowers will be appearing across borough throughout the summer months to ensure the town centre remains a vibrant and enjoyable place to shop.
Helen Barnett, marketing manager, Bracknell Regeneration Partnership added: “Bracknell Regeneration Partnership, Bracknell Forest Council and the retailers have been working together to make these improvements to ensure Bracknell is an enjoyable place to visit. We want to encourage shoppers into the town and support the keep trade local campaign.”
