Havant Borough Council wants to hear from you as part of its masterplan engagement.
Residents, businesses and shoppers are being asked to have their say as the engagement programme begins next week on the future of Waterlooville Town Centre.
Gathering views and ideas on the perceived strengths, challenges and opportunities of the physical space within the town centre, Havant Borough Council together with Feria Urbanism is offering face-to-face and virtual tours of the area from Monday 27 November.
The 60-minute tours will be the first stage of public engagement that will support the development of the masterplan.
During the visit, participants will be asked to take in the area as it is now and how the space could be better in the future while considering what recreational uses would be a good fit there and how the area could better serve the community.
All tours will need to be pre-booked through Eventbrite via our website, no return visits will be permitted.
The Leader of Havant Borough Council, Councillor Alex Rennie, said: "This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for all of us who live, work and shop in the area to shape the future of Waterlooville town centre. The regeneration of the area will only be successful if we deliver what is needed.
“We want to reimagine what our town centre can be and what it can deliver, so I encourage you to come and take a tour with us, let us know your views and together we can rebuild an even better town centre."
This is the first stage in the wider masterplan consultation process, with more engagement sessions planned. Anyone unable to book onto these tours will have the opportunity to take part and have their views heard in the new year when a “Festival of Ideas” event will be held in January.
