Local residents will be able to
have their say on the
ambitious £140 million
regeneration plans for the
Rowner estate.
The scheme, described by
Council chiefs as "real hope
of a fresh start for Rowner",
proposes to build 700 new
homes, including terraced
houses and a modern
10-storey apartment block.
There will be a dedicated area
for the Rowner Carnival plus a
supermarket and other shops,
new green spaces, and a tree-
middle of the estate. Traffic-
streets safe for children will
also be implemented.
If the plans get the go-ahead, it
is expected that work could
start as early as this summer.
Building work will start around
Howe Road, and the project is
expected to be complete in 2016.
