Plans to overhaul Long Eaton’s High Street, delayed from a September 2025 start, are now scheduled to begin in May 2026, with completion expected by May 2027. The £10 million project is part of a wider regeneration programme funded through a £25 million government grant.
Erewash Borough Council reported that delays stemmed from cost challenges raised by the design and build contractor. The scheme aims to modernise the town centre, enhancing public spaces and infrastructure.
Other projects within the regeneration programme include the Britannia Mills Bridge, which will expand pedestrian and cycling access. Work on the bridge is set to start in November 2025 and finish by June 2026. Construction on the Broad Street Bridge has also been rescheduled to begin in November 2025, with completion expected in August 2026.
The developments form part of a coordinated investment strategy to improve connectivity and public amenities across Long Eaton, supporting long-term economic growth and urban renewal.
