Take part in the Churchgate consultation
This is a unique opportunity for everyone across the district and beyond to take part in shaping the transformation of the Churchgate shopping area of Hitchin into a vibrant and welcoming hub that reflects the needs and desires of the community.
Your feedback will be used to create a collective vision for the regeneration of the area. This vision is the next step in the council’s process and will enable us to understand what the community would like to see.

Churchgate Regeneration
North Herts Council acquired the leasehold for the Churchgate Shopping Centre in Hitchin in 2022. We are now exploring options for the redevelopment of the Churchgate shopping area of Hitchin to help protect and enhance the vibrancy of the town centre for future generations to enjoy. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to revitalise the town centre and create a more attractive outlook for Market Place and the Church.
Following this consultation, the council will start to appoint the necessary professionals who will work alongside the council throughout the regeneration process. This will include them creating a series of proposals for the centre. The community will have the opportunity to be a part of the process and share their views.
