Demolition kick starts £40 million Weston-super-Mare redevelopment
Major demolition work has started on Weston-super-Mare’s dilapidated Dolphin Square as part of a £40 million redevelopment of the site.
Excavators moved in yesterday to begin the demolition of Somerset House – the former North Somerset Council offices – and the multi-storey car park.
It is envisaged the whole site including the flats and shopping complex, which was built in the 1960s, will be cleared by the summer for development work to start.
A number of national retailers, including Vue Cinemas, First Bowl, Nandos, Harvester, Pizza Express, Prezzo and Real China have already signed up to the scheme.
