BSP Consulting is joining Chesterfield Champions – helping to raise the profile of the town and North Derbyshire.
There are now nearly 200 Chesterfield Champions who support the local economy, working closely with Destination Chesterfield to showcase Chesterfield as a destination to live, work, visit and invest.
BSP has recently been part of the team that completed a key public realm project in the town.
The project involved improvement works to the whole length of Elder Way, along with its junctions with Saltergate and Knifesmithgate and is part of the Northern Gateway regeneration scheme.
BSP worked alongside Danaher & Walsh, who was appointed by Chesterfield Borough Council to carry out the public realm and highway works. Project manager was Turner & Townsend.
BSP’s business development manager Carrie Booth said: “Having attended an event in Chesterfield recently and learnt more about the exciting developments and opportunities in the town, we are delighted to be joining Chesterfield Champions.
“It will give BSP the chance to support development in Chesterfield and the surrounding area and be a part of the future of the town.”
New public realm
The recent public realm scheme that BSP engineers were involved in included reconstruction of existing footways and paved areas, the introduction of trees, pavement widening, taxi rank improvements, and a range of formal and informal pedestrian crossing improvements. It also featured the de-cluttering of the street scene, new bus shelters and the re-positioning of bus stops on Elder Way, new street furniture, improved design of loading bays, and carriageway resurfacing.
Funding for the scheme came from Chesterfield Borough Council, Sheffield City Region Infrastructure Fund (now South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority) and Jomast Developments, developers of the former Co-Op department store building on Elder Way.
