Building At Miller Street/Bank Row, Wick Also Gets Major Facelift
 The
work at Lower Pulteneytown has been going on steadily for the past four
years as part of the Highland council run regeneration scheme with
grants from the Heritage Lottery scheme and other funders. This
project on the building at the corner of Miller Street and Bank Row is
being run by Pentland Housing and will create one shop/office and flats.
with a new marina to follow the pontoons into Wick Harbour next year and
the Memorial Garden across the road going and with the BBC's Beechgrove
Garden team coming in August to help with the work and make a TV
programme this is fast becoming a sought after area of Wick after many
years of decline. Others areas of Lower Pulteneytown already
improved include

It all
Started In December 2000 Several of the streets in Lower
Pulteneytown have had pavements relaid in the past few months using
traditional Caithness Flagstone more in keeping with the buildings than
brick or tar. If you have not been there for a long time the
changes are amazing and ongoing. Anyone remember all those letters
in the Groat just few years ago about the state of Wick. It has
taken a few years but it is changing for the better and more work is
ongoing. |
