Work underway on £200 million regeneration project in Derby.
The £200 million regeneration of the Becketwell area of Derby city centre has moved a step closer, after demolition work started on the former Central United Reformed Church and properties on Victoria Street.
GMI Construction have been appointed main contractor for the project, with Derby-based specialist contractor, Cawarden, carrying out the physical work onsite.
Demolition of the former Debenhams store, which occupied part of the site, was completed by Cawarden last summer. This latest demolition work will clear the way for the most significant development project in Derby city centre since the Westfield Centre in 2007.
Scaffolding and fencing has been erected to the perimeter of the site to enclose the building and the working space.
Cawarden are currently clearing the site of the former Central URC, which was situated on the first floor of the building next to the site of the former Debenhams store, and the commercial units below at street level.
