Projects

Celebrating the rich history of the central core of the town, bringing the historic market areas and Newport Minster alive and enhancing the local distinctiveness of this part of the town.

There is potential to re-establish Ryde Town Hall as the signature building in Ryde Town Centre. It has lain derelict and neglected for far too long. Ryde HAZ is commissioning a Business Case to explore how to unlock the significant potential that this historic building has to be acquired, restored and renovated for sustainable community use.

A master-plan will be produced to present opportunities for the regeneration of the derelict buildings on the site of the former Convent School to the rear of
St. Mary’s Catholic Church, High Street, Ryde.

Monthly reports for each town show changes in visitor numbers and behaviour and provide useful insights into how people use the town centres.

Three arts and community organisations in Ryde have been commissioned to create delightful window installations to celebrate the High Street’s Heritage.
