It was lovely to see many local residents drop by No 58 on the 15th August to find out more about Gorebridge Connected. The Gorebridge Connected Masterplan was drawn up to compliment and build on the work of the Gorebridge CARS scheme. The project has three main elements:

1. Street improvements to Hunter Square
2. Improvements and the creation of a Heritage Trail in the Main Street
3. The restoration and conversion of the vacant Gorebridge station building

The aim being to improve and enhance the centre of Gorebridge to attract new investment and create a safer and more comfortable pedestrian environment and restoring and enhancing the historic character of the conservation area as well as promoting more sustainable modes of travel.

If you didn’t make it along to the event please do pop into the Trust office on the Main Street (No 58) if you have any questions or want to see the plans.
