Newark and Sherwood District Council, in partnership with Ollerton & Boughton Town Council, is inviting residents and stakeholders to attend a public drop-in event to view the final designs for the proposed regeneration of Ollerton Town Centre.
Attendees are being welcomed to visit at any time during the session to meet the project team, ask questions, and explore the refined plans ahead of the formal planning application submission later this year. The drop-in event will take place at Ollerton and Boughton Town Hall on Thursday 11th September, between 3pm and 6pm.
The final designs include a range of features aimed at revitalising the town centre and enhancing its role as a hub for public services, leisure, and community activity.
Key elements of the proposed development include: a three-screen cinema, café, retail and office spaces, a public sector hub, three terraced houses on Sherwood Drive, a new town centre ‘heart’ featuring open space and seating, dedicated space for events and markets, and a north-south pedestrian boulevard connecting Forest Road and Rufford Avenue.
Councillor Claire Penny, portfolio holder for sustainable economic development at Newark and Sherwood District Council, said: “This drop-in event is a vital opportunity for residents to see how their input has helped shape the future of Ollerton Town Centre.
“We are incredibly proud of the collaborative work that has gone into refining these plans, and we believe the final designs reflect a shared vision for a town centre that is welcoming, functional, and full of potential.
“The regeneration will not only enhance the physical environment but also strengthen the social and economic fabric of Ollerton. Together with Ollerton & Boughton Town Council, we’ve worked closely to ensure the plans reflect local priorities and aspirations.
“Their insight and involvement have been key throughout the process. We encourage everyone to come along, speak with the project team, ask questions and be part of this exciting journey.”
