Significant strides have been made across the programme, with two projects already completed and others advancing through key phases, including a £10 million upgrade to the High Street.
It’s been more than five years since this money was awarded, but that’s been spent doing hard-work behind the scenes – by the council and its many partners – to get it to this point.
The completed West Park lighting scheme and the new Events Space are already providing tangible benefits to the community. The Galaxy Row cinema is planned to be demolished this spring, and work on the £10 million High Street upgrade will start in the autumn.
These successes demonstrate the commitment to delivering high-quality projects that enhance Long Eaton.
"It’s really exciting that we now get to unveil this stuff, with so many of the projects – especially the bigger, most visible ones starting work this year.’ said Richard Ledger, Chair of the Long Eaton Town Board.
"While we have encountered some challenges, as is common with large-scale projects, we are confident that we are on track to meet the funding deadlines and deliver transformative change for the town.”
The Long Eaton Town Deal Board remains committed to transparency and will continue to provide regular updates to the community on the progress of these vital projects. The next Town Board meeting will be held on Friday, February 21st, where further updates will be discussed.
Key Project Updates:
- Completed: West Park Lighting Scheme, Events Space
- Under Construction: Stable Block (Completion anticipated in August 2025)
- Pre-Construction Phase: Britannia Mills Bridge, Broad Street Bridge & Waterfront, High Street, Galaxy Row
All projects are on track to meet the Towns Fund deadlines of being in contract by the end of March 2026 and completed by the end of March 2027.
