THE future is getting brighter for the Victorian Arcade - the ornate roof is getting a makeover.
The tired looking brick, glass and wrought iron canopy will be repaired, any broken or missing glass panes replaced and the framework given a fresh lick of paint.
Retailers in the arcade formed the Victorian Arcade Champions group before it was rebranded to reflect its historic heritage, and the work is part of the revamp.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
