Canterbury kiosks to provide start-up space

Source: https://www.insidermedia.com/news/

Plans to build a number of kiosks in Canterbury to provide space for start-up businesses, retailers and community uses are set to move forward.The scheme is earmarked for Station Road West, the footway of which was recently widened as part of the construction of a multi-storey car park.It was initially planned that the car park would comprise a front-facing commercial block, but the plans did not materialise due to the need to remove mature trees.Under the proposals, eight kiosks would be constructed to “contribute to the vitality and viability of the city centre” and to “bring this side of Station Road West into an active and engaging streetscene”.The application has been recommended for approval ahead of a Canterbury City Council meeting on 2 March 2021.
