Whilst Village Three will see the construction of a Town Centre with the provision of a major supermarket and all the usual retail facilities you would expect for such a major development, each of the individual villages will have its own ‘Local Centre’ meeting the doorstep needs of its residents.
Lakeside Local Centre is already under development and will see the provision of local shops, a village hall and opportunities for health and nursery services to be provided as the community grows.
Construction of a Lakeside Village Hall will be commencing in early 2011. The hall will be available to community groups and act as a hub for social activities as well as providing opportunities for indoor sports such as badminton and basketball.
Something for all age ranges. Allied to the delivery of the Village Hall will be an all weather multi-use Games Area. available for 5 a-side football, Netball and Tennis, etc.
Although Wixams will ultimately benefit from a comprehensive town centre retail development in Village Three, the every day needs of Lakeside residents will be catered for in a local centre shopping complex set adjacent an attractive lakeside setting.
Construction is anticipated to start in early 2011.
Whilst Lakeside is still a fledgling community, it is already developing its own sense of identity. The Wixams Community Group has been formed and has set up its own web site where information on the latest news and activities can be found.
