March Future High Streets Fund

March has secured a range of investment to help support a once-in-a-lifetime regeneration of the town centre.

These webpages provide more information on the £8.4million March Future High Streets Fund investment programme and projects, which are being delivered by Fenland District Council with funding from the Government's Future High Streets Fund (£6.4million) and the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority (£2million).

They also provide information on the transformational changes to the Broad Street road layout, which are being delivered by Cambridgeshire County Council with funding from the county's March Area Transport Study (£4.2million), the March Future High Streets Fund programme (£3.6million) and the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority's Market Towns Fund (£2million).

Together, the investments will help the town centre become more resilient and fit for the future, ensuring it can evolve and adapt to changes in consumer demands and meet the needs of future generations as the town continues to grow.

The works to transform Broad Street will bring a raft of improvements to the town centre, including reducing congestion and improving traffic flow, and in turn reducing pollution, and creating a more open, social, and pedestrian-friendly environment.

The projects have been shaped by community consultation undertaken as part of the Growing Fenland report on March in 2019 and the High Street and March Area Transport Study consultations in 2020.
