Cowes' Floating Bridge, a local icon
More will be revealed about plans to transform East Cowes town centre, on Friday and Saturday. An exhibition is to be held in the town on 29 February and 1 March.
Superstore Waitrose will host the exhibition, ahead of its planned development in the town. The up-market store is part of a multi-million pound rejuvenation scheme being delivered by the IW Council, South East England Development Agency and English Partnerships. Housing and other facilities are also planned. A formal planning application will be lodged with the IW Council, after comments are gathered at this latest exhibition. An outline scheme has already been given the go ahead and the planned completion date is 2013.
