Artists impressions, visuals and plans will be on display and members of the professional team will be on hand to speak to the public about the proposals. The development would bring:

·         More Choice For Shoppers

·         New 31,000 sq ft Town Centre Food Store

·         New Link Road Improving Traffic Flow in the Town Centre

·         New Landmark Community Building

·         200 new jobs

As well as bringing new jobs to the town the development will also secure dozens more with the relocation of the existing Market Hall businesses into new premises.

Retail Property Director at Dransfield Properties, Andrew Malley, said: “We know from our own centre here in Poulton that there is a real desire to see new investment and development to bring more people into the town and give people more choice.

“We want people to come along and give us their thoughts and views on the development plans and let us know what they would like to see for the future of Poulton town centre.”
