Redevelopment area

The vacant canalside site in August 2008

Sources of land for the new centre

The canalside redevelopment area consists of much of the land that was formerly occupied by a boat-hire company, Orchard Cruisers. This was later occupied by a boat repair operation 'Alchemy Boats' and subsequently by a community boatyard.

The land for the new Jericho Community Centre would come from combining two areas: 1) the site of the Council-owned garages in Dawson Place; 2) a contribution from the adjacent site made available by the developer. This drawing is intended to give only a rough indication of the area - and the sources of the land. In fact the community centre should be located elswhere on the site, preferably facing onto the planned public square.
