Aberystwyth Bandstand - let's try again



This is the latest plan for a renewed Bandstand on Aberystwyth Promenade. It's probably fair to say that the previous, fairly radical idea didn't enjoy universal popularity in the town. Ceredigion Council has now launched a public consultation on this new, more modest and traditional, design. It includes: 
• Reinforcement and extension of the base to include a walkway around the building and 
improved sea defence 
• Keeping the perimeter wall of the original Bandstand as a feature enhanced by subtle 
lighting 
• A glass front that makes the building look more inviting 
• Internal units that can be adapted for storage/toilets or for commercial use 
• Internal space that can be used for events or performances 

All the information, and how to contribute to the consultation, can be found by clicking here for the Welsh version and here for the English.
