Maldon Council is investing £85,000 to revamp the amphitheatre, enhancing its accessibility and structural integrity for community events and performances.
This amphitheatre has been around for 20 years. It’s a popular spot for events and performances in Promenade Park. The council plans to finish the work in about three weeks, weather permitting.
They’ll be removing and rebuilding parts of the structure. New steps and ramps will make it easier for folks to access. A council spokesperson mentioned that the current wings need some serious work.
They’ll be taken down and rebuilt to improve drainage and strength. The new wings will look similar but will be more user-friendly. The steps will be easier to navigate, thanks to added ramps.
This amphitheatre has seen a lot over the years. It’s hosted many events and faced all kinds of weather. So, these upgrades are essential for keeping it safe and accessible for everyone.
