Designs for Margate Old Town - tell us what you think!

Your views are wanted on new designs for the green spaces at Cobbs Place and Queens Arms Yard in Margate.

This is all part of the improvement work to ensure the town looks its best in 2011 to support the opening of the Turner Contemporary Gallery.

The designs, which have been created by Groundwork following a public consultation in December 2010, are now on display in the Media Centre Margate until Wednesday 10 March for local people to view and to provide their comments on.

As part of the initial consultation (which just under 100 people took part in) local people’s views were captured to help come up with some creative temporary solutions for these green spaces, as the land has been earmarked for development in the future.  Using this feedback, Groundwork has now created some draft designs and we want to know what you think before they create the final design.
