There is a real and exciting opportunity for change in the town centre following over £30m of investment by the Council:
Fareham Shopping Centre: The purchase of the centre by the Council in September 2023 gives us control over a key asset at a time when we are developing regeneration options for the town centre.
Fareham Live: Opening in 2024, the Council's new community arts and entertainment venue, run by expert operators Trafalgar Theatres, will be at the heart of the town centre. Find out more on the Fareham Live webpage.
Osborn Road Car Park Replacement: The demolition of the old multi storey is well underway. Opening in 2024, The new Fareham Live car park will feature larger car parking spaces as well as charging points for electric vehicles and additional planting to encourage biodiversity.
In March 2024, Fareham Housing, the housing department at the Council, confirmed the purchase of 130-136 West Street, which includes the former Foresters Hall, a number of ground floor shops and the Birks of Fareham furniture store. This purchase provides us with an opportunity to provide much needed affordable housing in the town centre.
You can find out more by reading the dedicated press release.
Building on this investment, we are working closely with specialist consultants to develop a Regeneration Strategy and Action Plan for the town.
