Following the purchase of Fareham Shopping Centre and adjoining properties in September, Fareham Borough Council is undertaking a period of engagement between now and next summer, firstly to understand what local people, residents, businesses and visitors would like to see and then to share early ideas and plans.
It is important that the local business voice is heard so please participate if you can and encourage your business network to do the same.
To start the proceedings, there is an initial listening exercise between Wednesday 29 November and Wednesday 6 December. There are multiple ways to get involved across the week to help us shape the future of Fareham Town Centre:

Or drop in to one of our in-person sessions:
Saturday 2 December – 11am – 3pm: Delme Square (by Costa Coffee / Next) Fareham Shopping Centre
Saturday 2 December – 11am – 3pm: Café area, Fareham Leisure Centre
Monday 4 December – 9.30am – 12pm: Monday Market, Fareham Town Centre
Printed feedback forms are also available to complete and drop-off at Fareham Library and the Civic Offices.
To support in this process, Fareham Borough Council has recruited the experience of RivingtonHark who will lead on providing strategic town centre regeneration advice. They will be aided by Leslie Jones Architecture as masterplanner and Redwood Consulting who will be working alongside the Council to manage the community engagement process.
A key early priority of the engagement process will be to understand what people like about the town centre, what you would change and determine what other uses – whether that be new homes or more office space – could be incorporated to increase footfall and support a nighttime economy. The findings from this and other engagement activities in the spring will then be used to inform a regeneration strategy and masterplan in later next year.
Councillor Seán Woodward, Executive Leader of Fareham Borough Council, said: "This is a very important journey in our town's future, and we want to hear from our community so that everyone is invested in the process. We are keen to understand the needs and aspirations of Fareham's residents, businesses, shoppers and visitors alike. Fareham Town Centre already has a lot to offer and now is the time for us to build on all that is positive and make Fareham the best it can be."
