Cheshire East Council is set to host a drop-in consultation event in Crewe town centre - showing new design proposals for a piece of public art.

The consultation will take place inside Crewe Market Hall this Thursday (October 27) - running from 11am until 4pm.

This public artwork – known as the heritage wall – will be incorporated as part of Crewe town centre's Royal Arcade scheme.

The heritage wall is part of phase one of the regeneration scheme – a new bus station and multi-storey car park.

This public artwork – known as the heritage wall – will be incorporated as part of Crewe town centre's Royal Arcade scheme (Cheshire East Council).

Cheshire East Council hope the wall will be a prominent landmark for everyone to enjoy when they arrive in Crewe town centre.

The artwork will be a design made of perforations on the metal façade of the car park.

Following a series of online engagement events over the past few weeks with the public, local councillors, and culture and heritage groups, the final design proposals will be shared at the event.

Chair of Cheshire East Council's economy and growth committee, Cllr Nick Mannion, said: "The wall of the car park – above the bus station – will have a perforated metal wall to meet ventilation requirements.

"This represents a perfect opportunity to create a piece of artwork, based on a perforated pattern or image, and the added benefit is that it will not cost any more than the basic metal wall.

"We have already received useful feedback from the various engagement events that we've hosted up to this point and I expect that theme to continue at this in-person event on Thursday, which I'm very much looking forward to attending.

"Naturally, we hope that as many people as possible will be able to attend on the day to meet Jac Seifert, the artist who has produced these designs.

"However, we will also have a screen with video explanations of the designs that will be playing on a loop, as well as noticeboards, which will contain additional information.

"These will be available at the event and will remain in place until 4pm on Thursday 3 November."

There will be a 'comments box,' which Crewe Market Hal trader, Mini Beans Coffee, will keep on the counter at their shop until the period of consultation closes.

These comments will help inform the selection of the final design, which will be in place when the first phase of the Royal Arcade scheme is completed.

This is targeted to be completed by the end of 2023.
