A redevelopment project in Sandwich is set to transform the town’s square for residents and visitors, and includes highway improvements and resurfacing of the current space, along with new features such as improved seating, tree planting, and lighting. The project has been developed in collaboration with county, district and town councils, and the local community.
As part of the project, the bus shelter in the Guildhall Market Square has been relocated to Sandwich Quay. This marks the beginning of the wider development works.
The R&A has agreed to provide £75,000 towards the redevelopment of the Guildhall Square, alongside investment from DDC, Sandwich Town Council, KCC, Prince’s Golf Club and Discovery Park. The funding is part of the £100,000 windfall received from The Open Legacy Fund, an initiative run by The R&A to leave a positive and long-lasting impact on the local environment and communities in which The Open is staged.
