Dransfield Properties and West Lindsey District Council are


working in partnership to transform the Market Street, Market Place, Church Street and North Street area of the town – the new hotel and restaurant are a key ingredient of the plans. The work which is now underway will deliver the new hotel and restaurant including an attractive alfresco dining area and water feature inspired by Paley Park in New York. The wider regeneration scheme also includes a joint venture partnership to refurbish town centre shops with new traditional shop fronts - creating an Independent Quarter in the town plus improvements to the Roseway Car Park creating 30 additional town centre car parking spaces and an attractive and welcoming arrival point for visitors on this key gateway site.
