Proposed Fire Station Conversion Plan Unveiled by Commission
On August 20, 2025, the plans for the revamp of Brand Square were unveiled at a town hall meeting. The revamp, scheduled to take place in the near future, has three main themes: Stock Market & Events, Mobility & Accessibility, and Square Design & Green Space.
The public is invited to play a significant role in the revamp planning process. The plans will be displayed during the weekly market on Brand Square, providing an opportunity for everyone to get a first-hand look. The public's input will be collected, evaluated, and integrated into the further planning process.
Interested individuals flocked to the information event for the Brand Square revamp, with around 200 attendees. The exchange during the event was lively, marked by great engagement and enthusiasm.
The revamped Brand Square will see an increase in seating and green spaces, making it a more inviting and enjoyable place for the community. More focus will be placed on the organization of the weekly market, aiming to enhance its overall experience.
To ensure good accessibility for mobility-impaired persons, the revamp plans take this into account. The square will also provide space for events and gatherings in the future.
The proposals for the reconceptualization of Brand Square will be submitted by architects, urban planners, and design professionals participating in the public submission process. The collected suggestions from the event and online participation will be compiled, evaluated, and integrated into further planning.
The results of the evaluation will be displayed during the weekly market on Brand Square in the coming weeks, giving the public a chance to see the progress and provide further feedback. The public can submit their suggestions for the design of Brand Square via the website: Revamp Brand Square.
It's worth noting that the revamp plans will include changes based on the feedback received from the public. One significant change will be a reduction in the number of parking spaces to make room for the increased seating and green spaces.
In summary, the revamp of Brand Square is a community-led transformation aimed at creating a more vibrant, accessible, and green space for everyone. The public is encouraged to participate in the process and help shape the future of their local square.
