Cllr Alan Bradford, Chairman of Sedgemoor District Council, said: "Northgate Yard is a huge investment in the town centre and is set to be a landmark destination for both locals and tourists. We're delighted that so much progress has been made on the construction and that we're already at such a landmark stage in the build – it won’t be long before we'll all be enjoying the leisure and entertainment facilities that will be on offer."
Rob Woolcock, Director at Willmott Dixon said: "The topping out ceremony marks a key stage in the construction of Northgate Yard, and we're delighted to be working with Sedgemoor District Council to deliver this landmark project. We are committed to leaving a positive legacy in the communities where we build, so it was great to have the pupils from Northgate Primary School at the ceremony to sign the steel and be a part of this exciting development."
The scheme will also feature outdoor meeting places and landscaping. The adjacent green space, Brewery Field, will be improved and updated to feature an outdoor children's play area and parkland with a pond and landscaped planting.
