The Heart of Slough Project is an ambitious plan for the town centre redevelopment of Slough, in Berkshire. The aim is to create a leading European and national focus and cultural quarter for the creative media, information and communications industries. It will create a mixed-use complex, multi-functional buildings, visual landmarks and a public space in the Thames Valley. ==Timeline== *Recommendations for the £400 million project were approved,〔(BBC NEWS | England | Berkshire | Backing for town's £400m makeover )〕 and planning approval was given by Slough Borough Council’s planning committee on 9 July 2009.〔(Heart of Slough planning approval )〕 *In December 2009, 2 key components of the project were signed, the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) signed its agreement to provide £11m of funding for the infrastructure of the scheme and Thames Valley University (TVU) courses which are due to remain in the town have found a new home at The Centre in Farnham Road, Slough〔(for Heart of Slough project> )〕 *As part of the Heart of Slough project, construction work on the modern bus station began on Monday, 29 March 2010 following weeks of demolition work to half of the previous bus station and the removal of Compair House near the railway station; it was expected to be completed by January 2011.〔http://www.sloughobserver.co.uk/news/roundup/articles/2010/03/24/45552-heart-of-slough-beats-faster/〕〔http://www.maidenhead-advertiser.co.uk/news/article-15508-video-heart-of-slough-project-begins-450m-work/〕 ==Heart of Slough Updates== Slough's new Bus Station opened in May 2011, 5 months behind schedule.

The rest of the old Brunel bus station was demolished. The new learning centre (The Curve) was expected to start in early 2012, but was delayed until February 2014. The £1bn Learning centre will be completed in July 2015. 〔http://www.theconstructionindex.co.uk/news/view/morgan-sindall-makes-a-start-on-sloughs-curve〕 Another development was the Thames Valley Square. This was scheduled to start by the end of 2011. However, as of April 2014, the Thames Valley Square's construction has not been commenced. The new road system in Slough is complete. Before, it was a roundabout, now it has been successfully been converted to a Cross Road. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heart of Slough」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
