Digging and paving works are well underway as part of the Northampton market redevelopment. West Northamptonshire Council is working with leading construction firm Stepnell Ltd to carry out the multi-million-pound project.
WNC and Stepnell Ltd are working with the Museum of London Archaeology to monitor the digging to ensure any potential findings are preserved and recorded. Further digging and paving works will commence in early summer on the perimeter of the Market Square.It will require working closely with surrounding businesses and residents to ensure their premises are accessible.
"Following an extensive programme of essential investigations, we are now making headway with the next stage of the construction works. People will be able to see contractors removing the existing drainage and any existing features which can’t be repurposed, and key transformation work is taking place over the coming weeks.”
