Shopping centre demolition site to become green space

In January Yeovil MP Adam Dance suggested the green space should be used to hold major events, including a Christmas market which he believed could rival the existing event held in Bath.

"It's really important to have that green space in the centre of town," he said.

"Wouldn't it be great to get off the bus and be able to walk through a nice green area and walk up through town."

Initial proposals for the long-term future of the site are being worked on by the council using funding from Homes England.

Regeneration proposals are understood to include both Glovers Walk and the former Wilko unit on Middle Street, which remains under council ownership.
