Aldershot regeneration project completed after 16 years

Hundreds of new homes and community facilities are now finished in North Town, Aldershot, the result of a long-term investment.

At the heart of the completed project is a new community centre, designed to offer support, activities and a welcoming space for residents to connect and grow.

An event brought together residents, Vivid customers, community partners and project stakeholders to celebrate the milestone and the partnerships that made it possible.

Margaret Dodwell, chief operating officer at Vivid, said: "Today is about recognising and celebrating what's been achieved in North Town and there's a lot to be proud of.

"Over the past 16 years, we've delivered modern homes and a new community centre, but what's really important here is the community.

"Everything we do is about creating places where people can thrive and where customers have a good place to call home.

"This community centre provides a welcoming space for our customers and local residents to come together, and while today is a chance to reflect on how far North Town has come, it's also an opportunity to look ahead to what the future holds."

Guests joined in celebrating the completion of the regeneration programme and the official opening of the community centre.

Since regeneration plans were first approved in 2009, North Town has benefited from significant investment in homes, facilities and public spaces.
