A £460,000 project to carry out enhancements to Jubilee Walk in Haverhill will officially open on Monday 15th October at 11.30 am.

Cllr John Griffiths, leader of St Edmundsbury Borough Council, will unveil a plaque marking the scheme’s completion. Guests will then be invited to the Arts Centre where drinks and an ‘Owen the cat’ cake will be served.

The project has been designed to improve a key gateway from the bus station into the town centre. As part of the work, Jubilee Walk has been repaved and replanted, the car park has been resurfaced and handrails and a granite seat installed. The scheme also includes a sculpture to Owen, who used to live in the area and was popular with residents.

Leader of St Edmundsbury Borough Council, Cllr John Griffiths, said:

“This is first major enhancement project brought forward as part of Haverhill masterplan and although we have experienced some difficulties along the way, the important thing is that they have been addressed and the area between the bus station and the town centre has now been very considerably improved by this extensive facelift. The completed scheme not only looks very good but will benefit Haverhill’s residents and visitors alike.”
