Waltham Cross Town Centre Regeneration Works Begin

Danaher & Walsh Civil Engineering is proud to announce the start of Waltham Cross Town Centre Regeneration works. The project officially began with a groundbreaking ceremony on Thursday 12 September 2024. Representatives from Broxbourne Borough Council, Hertfordshire County Council and the MP for Broxbourne joined Danaher & Walsh to mark the start of this major town centre scheme.

Marking the Start of a Major Transformation

The ceremony marked an important milestone for Waltham Cross. As the appointed contractor, Danaher & Walsh will lead the delivery of the project. The works will help modernise and revitalise the town centre. The scheme supports Broxbourne Borough Council’s wider vision for a more welcoming, vibrant and prosperous community.

Improving the Public Realm

Danaher & Walsh will deliver a range of public realm improvements across the town centre. The works will include high-quality paving, new street furniture, lighting, seating and landscaped play areas. The team will also replace the outdated red brick walkways with modern light grey paving. This new finish will complement nearby Queen Eleanor Square, which Danaher & Walsh regenerated in 2019. Together, these changes will create a cleaner, brighter and more attractive town centre.

Safer Access and Better Movement

The scheme will also deliver important pedestrian and highway improvements.

New crossings along Monarchs Way will give residents and visitors safer access to the town centre. As part of the works, the team will close the old underpass linking the town centre with Stanhope Road. This change will improve safety and create a better experience for people moving through the area. In addition, the project will reintroduce limited vehicle access through part of the town centre. This will support the nighttime economy while keeping public safety at the centre of the design.

Designed with the Community in Mind

Public consultation helped shape the final designs.

Government funding also made the scheme possible. As a result, the project can now move forward and deliver long-term improvements for the local community. Danaher & Walsh is excited to support this ambitious regeneration project. We are committed to delivering high-quality work and keeping the town centre moving during construction.

Looking Ahead

The works are expected to finish by autumn 2025.

Once complete, the scheme will leave a lasting legacy for Waltham Cross. It will improve public spaces, support local businesses and create a more welcoming town centre for residents and visitors.
