Soil cutting ceremony at latest phase of Tunstall’s Alexandra Park development

18 July 2013

The deputy Lord mayor of Stoke on Trent Cllr Majid Khan is due to cut the first soil at the latest phase of works at a Tunstall retail development next week.

The ceremony has been organised to mark the start of the third phase of the Alexandra Park development which is being delivered by Dransfield Properties Ltd.  The soil cutting will take place at 12pm on Wednesday 24th July.

Construction on the development started this week and the frozen food retailer Iceland is the first retailer to announce they’re signed up to take space in one of the five new units being built. The company is taking a 6,135 sq ft unit at Alexandra Park, creating 20 new jobs in the town.

As well as the new Iceland store Dransfield Properties has several other national retailers interested in the remaining units which will sit alongside the Boots Pharmacy and Primary Care Centre which both opened in September 2011. 

The development is built around a central 240 space car park with good links to the town centre and is also home to the impressive Shard sculpture as well as a DW Sports Fitness gym and store, Carphone Warehouse and a hair and beauty salon. The new units cover a total of 25,400 sq ft.

Head of Communications at Dransfield Properties, Amanda Holmes said: “We are delighted to be welcoming Cllr Khan to Alexandra Park to cut the soil on this final phase of the Alexandra Park development.

“This will complete the development and complement the existing businesses and services we have here in Tunstall. We’ve already had a good deal of interest in the development and we look forward to making further announcements over the coming weeks.”

The Nottingham based firm J. Tomlinson are the main contractor on the project and completion is  scheduled for November this year.
