WORKS to build a new community hub, part of ambitious plans to upgrade Malvern’s Victoria Park, are in full flow.
Malvern Town Council has released an update on the £1.5million hub on social media, with cladding on the windows being installed and the interior being fitted out in recent days.
Groundworks began in February, with the six modules making up the new building being lifted into place earlier this month.
The new hub is expected to be completed by mid-June.
Once complete, the hub will include a cafe with indoor and outdoor seating and a community meeting room.
Other features will include new public toilets and sports lockers.
A small part of the building will be used for new Malvern Town Council offices, and there will also be an area for people to learn more about the services the authority offers.
Some of the park’s play equipment has been rearranged to allow the building works to take place safely.
Two pieces of ageing equipment, which were nearing the end of their life have been removed and the zip wire has been moved so it could continue to be used.
A new toddler swing set will be installed once building works have finished and a full-scale refurbishment of the play area is planned for 2025/26.
The skateboard park ramps have been moved and will remain out of use throughout the works.
Plans are also in place to refurbish and upgrade the skateboard park.
