FOLKESTONE'S town centre is set for a major transformation, and a new play area in Bouverie Square is among the exciting developments on the horizon.

Makekover set to breathe new life into town centre

As part of the government funded Folkestone - A Brighter Future programme, the square will become a vibrant public park once the new bus stops are relocated to Shellons Street.

The initiative aims to breathe new life into the town centre, with construction underway and completion expected by summer next year.
