Glossop Rotary Club have helped kick start the Glossop Vision regeneration programme in Glossop Town centre with a generous donation towards the refurbishment of the furniture in Norfolk Square.

Glossop Rotary Club are currently celebrating their centenary year and as part of the celebrations the club wanted to donate something to the people of Glossop. Glossop Rotarians decided that the improvements planned as part of the Glossop Vision programme would be the perfect opportunity to make a lasting contribution to the town and after viewing the plans for improvements across Glossop the Rotary opted to help fund the repainting of the furniture in Norfolk Square.

The Glossop Vision programme will see a wide range of improvements taking place across Glossop in the coming months as the projects identified in the Glossop Vision Masterplan begin to get underway. The development of the Master Plan is a key feature of the Liveability project in Glossop. The plan will guide future development and management of the town. It identifies key areas where improvements to the public realm would make a real difference and puts forward proposals for their improvement to be implemented over a 15 year- period.

A number of these projects have been identified for implementation as part of the phase one delivery programme due to commence later this year. These projects will see improvements taking place in Manor Park, Harehills and the Town Centre.

With the new paint work almost completed at Norfolk Square. Glossop Rotary Club President (2004/5) Terry Bond is delighted with the results "We are delighted to be able to celebrate our centenary Year working in partnership with Glossop Vision. The improvements to Norfolk Square are only the start of what promises to be an exciting period of investment and improvements across Glossop and we are only too happy to be able to be a part of it" ."

John Hart, Chair of the Glossop Vision Board said" We would like to thank Glossop Rotary for their generous contribution to the Glossop Vision Regeneration programme. It seemed fitting to kick start the scheme with improvements to Norfolk Square as it represents an icon in the town centre and is a popular spot for residents, workers and visitors alike and the generosity of Glossop Rotarians has helped make this possible. We are now looking forward to seeing the other Glossop Vision improvements begin to take shape.
