Improvements can be made to the shopping parade through Rotherham Council’s Towns and Villages Fund.
On Wednesday 19th October, Ward Councillors in the Thurcroft and Wickersley South Ward spoke with local businesses on Green Arbour Road in Thurcroft to get their views on potential improvements to the shopping parade.
The Towns and Villages Fund is a £4 million commitment from Rotherham Council to deliver improvements to local towns and villages across the borough. Through the Towns and Villages Fund projects will be delivered across the borough, between now and 2024.
Other Towns and Villages Fund schemes have created, or will be creating additional parking provision, resurfaced footpaths, improved shop frontages and planted trees.
As works to revitalise and improve Rotherham Town Centre progress, it is important that investment into local centres is also made.
Investment into the Green Arbour shopping parade supports the Thurcroft and Wickersley South Ward priorities around building a stronger, cohesive community and improving the local environment.

The feedback that was provided from businesses on the day was invaluable. We would like to thank the local businesses that provided feedback.
Feedback will be used to inform the Towns and Villages Fund scheme for the area.
Further information will be shared with residents as the project progresses.
