Construction work has begun on the first phase of the £20 million John Barker Place regeneration project in Hitchin, almost one year on from planning permission being granted by NHDC.
Planning permission for the highly anticipated Westmill project was granted on January 24, 2020 - marking the end of a saga that spanned more than a decade.
On January 18, settle’s development partner, Jarvis Contracting, began preparing the site of the old playground for building work to start on Phase 1 of the redevelopment - after a new playground had already been installed in Swinburne Playing Fields last summer.
