PHOTOGRAPHS show what a large events area in Holywell town centre would look like as plans move forward.

Members of Holywell Town Council were shown some artist impressions at the December meeting of what the stage area, which would be placed in Tower Gardens off Holywell High Street, after selecting the style and colours to be used at previous council gatherings.

Images handed out with the monthly town council’s meeting agenda show that proposed bandstand area, how it would look in the Tower Garden’s area and were asked to approve the design that featured a 15cm step.

The Leader previously reported that an application was submitted to Flintshire Council in the summer to build a canopy extending across Tower Gardens off the town’s High Street.

In documents accompanying the proposals, it said: “The primary aim is to establish Holywell as a premier town centre events venue by looking into potential options to make Tower Gardens an all year-round covered events space.

“It will enable more events to be put on and extend the tourist season within Flintshire. The project is funded through the LEADER programme by Cadwyn Clwyd, which is part of the Welsh Government Rural Development Programme.”
