| 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.
