The Riverhead Square renovation was substantially completed last year and has been well used since, with people choosing to spend time there as well as hosting Christmas and food events.
As previously reported, some minor works were left outstanding. Works to electricity connections require upgrading to allow power to be delivered to the main feed, but Northern Power Grid has been unable to do the work until now. This will involve some disruption on site, with small areas taken out of use to form safe working areas over a 5 week period.
After this a small amount of snagging works will be completed by the main contractor for a further 4 weeks which will make good all areas and also bond loose stones that are being removed by anti-social behaviour from the planted areas.
Once this is in place, it means that events and markets will be able to use the power boxes installed around the square rather than having to hire in generators.
