Chesterfield town centre’s exciting transformation is well underway, with refurbishment plans taking place and completed across several key sites. We are investing in the quality of our public realm where we will see the look, feel and flow of the town’s main public spaces, including our historic marketplace, improved our £20 million from Levelling Up Funding. We are also investing in our cultural offer by refurbishing and expanding our theatre and museum.
We are ambitious for our place and wish to see new investment in our town centre.
Space is now available for businesses in the retail, leisure and hospitality sectors to add to our visitor offer in the town. We are also keen to attract quality housing into our town centre.
Chesterfield is a sub-regional service centre for North Derbyshire; it has a great town centre that is steeped in history with a historic market, but that is balanced by new investments and opportunities.
