Historic Scores designs to go on show in Lowestoft
Designs are set to be revealed by East Suffolk Council for plans to restore, maintain and enhance Lowestoft’s historic Scores.
The pathways are a unique feature of the town, connecting the historic High Street with the former Beach Village (The Grit), heritage parks and the Ness Park.
East Suffolk Council engaged with communities and businesses in 2022 on concepts created by architect Jon Sheaff and Associates for enhancing the Scores.
Designs evolving from feedback on the concepts will be exhibited at Lowestoft Library from 1pm-4pm on Monday 18 March. You’ll have the chance to hear more about our plans and speak to the project team directly.
Cllr Toby Hammond, East Suffolk's cabinet member for Economic Development and Transport, said:
“We’re excited to be sharing these plans with the wider community.
“We would like to receive comments on these designs from communities and businesses to help influence the final plans.
“People who took part in the initial concepts wanted the Scores to be celebrated as a destination, showcasing Lowestoft rich cultural heritage, and for them to be more attractive.
“The Council has been working with LDA Designs Ltd to draw up proposals to create a better and more welcoming experience for residents and visitors. The designs include improved lighting, paving, boundary treatments, interpretation, and public art, all to create a journey of discovery that will celebrate the Scores and Lowestoft.”
East Suffolk Council is now exploring external funding opportunities to realise the potential of proposed designs for the Scores.
Anyone interested in finding out more about the proposed plans can attend the open consultation event at Lowestoft Library or visit the Think Lowestoft events page.
