Contracting businesses Lovell Partnerships and Morgan Sindall will deliver several projects, including new 38,000 sq ft civic offices worth £10m-£20m.

This will be funded by returns from a residential development by Lovell Partnerships and Clayson Country Homes, commercial development including a supermarket, offices and conversion of a listed mill building for commercial uses.

In addition, Morgan Sindall will be undertaking archaeological works on site as well as demolishing existing structures and creating Moat Lane as a new link road.

Ernie Battey, managing director of Morgan Sindall Investments said: “We are delighted to have this opportunity to partner with the Council to fulfil their long standing vision for the regeneration of Towcester.

Positioned at the very heart of this historic town we understand how important this project is for the community and look forward to delivering this high quality development with our sister companies, Lovell Partnerships Ltd and Morgan Sindall plc.”

The residential development by Lovell Partnerships will provide 106 new homes, ranging from two to five bedrooms, across two sites.

Dave Smith, construction managing director for Morgan Sindall, said: “This appointment demonstrates the proven ability of Morgan Sindall Group companies to work together in order to deliver innovative and cost effective solutions that benefit our customers as well as the wider community. ”
