College Street Public Realm – Have your say

You are invited to comment on plans to transform the look of College Street via an online information event this week.

The open spaces on College Street will be redeveloped as part of the Town Centre Masterplan and follow on from the works currently underway on Bridgegate.

View and comment on the plans here up to Saturday 6th March.

The improvement works will include additional on-street parking, new paving, lighting and street furniture. Works are due to commence spring 2021.

Work progressing on demolition of former Primark building

Works to prepare the former Primark building on Rotherham High Street for demolition are now underway. Following the Council’s purchase of the building in November 2020 using funding from the Towns Fund Accelerator programme, the planning application for permission to demolish the building and replace it in the short term with a pocket park and high-quality public space was granted on 1 February 2021. Subject to necessary planning consents, longer term plans include developing the site for new town centre residential. Find out more here.
