Work on the exciting transformation of the Treasure House in Champney Road in Beverley is expected to begin in September.
A new customer service centre and the enhanced library will be built as part of the £3.3 million project, and the council’s registration services will be relocated to the building from Walkergate House.
It was recently announced that the East Riding of Yorkshire Council would transform the Treasure House in Champney Road, Beverley, into a Beverley Hub, combining several existing council services under one roof.
The £3.3 million scheme includes a new customer service centre and enhanced library, as well as relocating the council’s registration services from Walkergate House.
A plaque dedicated to Beverley Victorian industrialist William Crosskill was unveiled on the front wall of 71 Walkergate, now the Grosvenor Club, by the Beverley Civic Society and the Georgian Society for East Yorkshire.
It was in this house that William Crosskill lived from 1853 to 1886.
Plans have been revealed to rename the Treasure House to the Beverley Hub and become home to multiple council services.
Under the plans, there will be a new customer service centre and an enhanced library. While the council’s registration services will also relocate from Walkergate House.
Couples in the East Riding were able to beat the clock and bring forward their wedding ceremonies before going into lockdown.
Staff from East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s registration and celebratory services team pulled out all the stops. They wanted to ensure couples could tie the knot before the second lockdown came into effect.
Residents visiting registration and celebratory services, entertainment venues, adult learning centres and Bevelrey Leisure Centre that are run by East Riding of Yorkshire Council will now be able to stay connected as free Wi-Fi goes live.
The works represent an important investment by the authority and allow residents to access services and transact with the council digitally.
Ceremony rooms across the East Riding have been upgraded to provide more elegant surroundings befitting the services which are held there.
Plans are well advanced for an event at Walkergate House, Beverley, to commemorate 100 years of ‘I Do.’ Sunday, 1 July, marks the 10th anniversary of the amalgamation
