Churchgate Regeneration

North Herts Council acquired the leasehold for the Churchgate Shopping Centre in Hitchin in 2022. We are now exploring options for the redevelopment of the Churchgate shopping area of Hitchin to help protect and enhance the vibrancy of the town centre for future generations to enjoy. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to revitalise the town centre and create a more attractive outlook for Market Place and the Church.

Following this consultation, the council will start to appoint the necessary professionals who will work alongside the council throughout the regeneration process. This will include them creating a series of proposals for the centre. The community will have the opportunity to be a part of the process and share their views.
