Town Mills Andover

Project description

Town Mill Riverside is an urban realm regeneration project.  

The project will:

• create a new urban park with close links to the High Street, incorporating cycleway and footpath; 
• remove traffic from the town centre; and 
• provide direct access to Town Mills car park from the ring road via a new junction. 

The route will run from Andover train station to the town centre, through to Town Mill via Bridge Street/Town Mill Road/Chantry Shopping Centre.

The scheme is aimed at making improvements to pedestrian access along Town Mill and the park to encourage more people to travel sustainably into the town centre. The proposed public realm improvements will enhance the environment and help support the local economy.
