At the heart of the Moat Lane area will be a new Civic Building. The Civic Building will become a centre of activity for the local community, visitors and tourists.
It is proposed that the building contains Towcester Library, which would relocate from its existing site. The new Towcester Library will be bigger and better, offering a wider range of resources, with improved technology activities and services. The building will also contain the County Registrar’s office, relocated from Brackley Road. The Registrar’s office will enable the building to be used for weddings and civil partnerships, taking advantage of the setting adjacent to Bury Mount and the Watermeadows.
The Civic Building will contain a number of other community spaces, services and venues. Discussions are underway with service providers, but these could include;
- a shared local authority customer contact centre
- a large space for exhibitions, conferences and receptions
- community office space
- a conference room and a cafe.
Work is ongoing on the design and makeup of the Civic Building. This is a key new building for the centre of Towcester and the project team will ensure the local community will be consulted and engaged as the work progresses.
