New look for Washingborough shopping precinct

Our investment of nearly £750,000 in the popular Washingborough shopping precinct has given the area a new lease of life. The work has seen cladding fitted on buildings, improved paving and lighting and new greenery planted to update the look of the precinct.

The food store and pharmacy on site have also undergone renovations to improve the services they are able to offer, while the post office will also benefit from the update.

Washingborough Food Store has been extended, allowing for a greater range of products, while the floor, fixtures, fittings and lighting have been replaced and a new entrance has been created for the store.

Store Development Manager Matthew Wilkinson said, “The precinct was due a bit of a facelift and we hope that it will encourage the community here in Washingborough to really make the most of their local shops.”

Close by on the precinct, Washingborough Pharmacy is also looking fresher, having benefitted from a refit to change the flooring, lighting and shelving as well as new signage both inside and out.

The dispensary has been redesigned and rebuilt to create more work space and storage space for the staff members who work there, allowing them to continue to offer a range of services including health checks and advice.

Accuracy Checking Technician at the pharmacy Clare Burford said, “The pharmacy has always been a nice place to work and now it’s even nicer – our consultation room has been freshened up with a lick of paint and the whole place is more welcoming for our customers.
