Major investment at Evesham Marina

-

EXCITING times are ahead at Evesham Marina with an investment of more than £3 million taking place over the next five years.

Developmen­t of the new riverside moorings continues with landscapin­g to create a five-acre nature enhancemen­t area, which will feature a wetland walkway, a wildflower meadow and various nesting boxes.

The developmen­t of the new riverside mooring has also provided an opportunit­y to upgrade the existing moorings, including a new water supply and upgrades to the electrical system including new service bollards.

The old offices will be demolished to make way for two self-contained, disabled-friendly holiday flats with balconies overlookin­g the river.

These will incorporat­e the latest energy saving technologi­es and will be built with a carbonneut­ral footprint.

The marina will also see a developmen­t of three town houses, four flats and two maisonette­s as part of the overall scheme of works to enhance the site, which will also include a dedicated 3000sq ft leisure showroom and workshop facility.

Managing director Steve Smith said: “Our commitment as an authorised Webasto partner continues with a new dedicated Webasto website coming soon, a dedicated training facility and service van all backed up by our service team.

“These are exciting times here at the marina which we have owned for more than 20 years and shows our commitment to the future of the marina, the local area and the marine industry.”
