Building Work to Start on new Community Centre

Building work will soon commence on the new multi-use Community Centre, which will be built on the site of the Old Thatched Inn, Station Road, Bovey Tracey.

Construction of the new building is expected to start in October 2019 and the new centre is scheduled to open in the Summer of 2020, providing a new community resource which will accommodate the Town Council office, Information Centre, Library and Public Toilets.  There will also be 4 Incubation Offices available to let for small businesses as well as community meeting space.

 Cllr George Gribble, Town Mayor said: “This has been a long time coming with a lot of hard work put in by a small number of committed people over recent years, but I’m really pleased that construction is starting.  It is hoped that the centre will be widely used by all within the community and will become a hub for accessing a number of services, under one roof”.  

The council has chosen Devon Contractors to do the construction work and we are looking forward to them arriving on-site and getting the work underway” said Cllr Gribble.

Prior to the work commencing on the main build, displays will be put up in Bovey Tracey Library and Bovey Tracey Information Centre, where the public can visit during publicised opening hours to view floor plans and see how the building will look.  It is hoped these will remain on display during the construction period.
