Market square makeover

St Neots Market square is undergoing a £15 million makeover. It's taken 15 months and is almost finished. Today it was busy and buzzing in the sunshine 🌞

A million a month not bad terms I suppose

A beautiful square on a pretty day!

That’s a lot of money! Did it need that much doing to it? Nice to see people out enjoying the sunshine.

[Dianne]

Looks great.

[Rob Z]

That does seem to be a lot of money if this is the nearly finished product. It's a little hard to see where they've spent that much. :)

Nice to see sun

[Beryl Lloyd]

A lot of money - but good to rejuvenate the Market Square !

[Carole Sandford]

Does seem a tad expensive. Lovely sunny day though!

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great shot

[Phil Howcroft]

not many stalls there yet Judith , I hope the rents are reasonable

[Joan Robillard]

Nice capture

[Judith Johnson]

@phil_howcroft actually, the market was just finishing as we arrived, so I've failed to capture the atmosphere here.

[Diana]

Lovely capture and scene.

Well, we are currently in the process of removing such areas. The hard surface is being removed and replaced with one that absorbs water, and many trees are being planted. These concrete areas are like a hot frying pan on hot days.

[Dione Giorgio]

Looks lovely and spacious. Beautifully captured.

[Brian]

Lovely

[Michelle]

Lovely capture, could almost be a Summers day!

[wendy frost]

Looks great in the bright sunshine hope it brings in the customers .

[Linda E]

Lovely scene & capture

[Judith Johnson]

@haskar You are right, of course. A lot of people in our town believe the money could have been better spent. I think the reason they chose to spend money on the market square was because originally they had planted the 'wrong sort of trees'! I haven't seen any new trees yet!

It would be great to see you when you are in Shetland. We are back on the Island on Monday 19th. Saturday would be best for us to meet up for a tea / coffee. If you are in Scalloway we could meet at the Cornserstone but we can arrange that later. Word of advice if eating out or taking a ferry anywhere and you are able to book do so as it can be very busy. 07399099803 is my number

@lifeat60degrees Thanks. That would be great. We will get in touch when we arrive in Scalloway. Thanks for the advice.
