News on Your Driffield. Your Future.

A new engagement survey has been launched about the proposed installation of a parklet to add new public space on Middle Street South.

A parklet is a temporary attractive wooden platform and includes fixed seating and planting arrangements. The proposal is that during the summer months it would take one parking space, between Wilko and Lockwood Street, to provide the community with a much-desired dwell and amenity space.

The Umbrella Plaza has created a positive impact on the Market Place area and has been widely supported. We are now looking to see how we can bring similar benefits to another area of the town.

Please share with us your opinion on this idea and the style of Parklet you think would be of most benefit to the town.

Face to face consultation on the parklet is planned to take place on the weekly market on Thursday 28th April and Thursday 5th May from 11am-1pm. The survey will close midday on Monday 9th May

Results and further updates will be shared later in May.

Thank you to everybody that has contributed since Driffield Commonplace to date. The more people that are involved, the better the needs of the whole community will be reflected and so please have your say!
