Eastrop Roundabout "Eastrop Circus" (Basingstoke)

 roundabout / traffic circle  Add category

Eastrop Roundabout has been defined as an important central link between the town centre districts of Festival Place and Top of Town, Eastrop Park, Basing View business park and the Alençon Link area which includes the Railway station and the Malls. The transformed roundabout will be part of the masterplan to regenerate Basing View as a 21st century business park. The vacant land next to the roundabout directly north will become a new public piazza while to the south, Festival Place will be extended towards the roundabout and will possibly connect to Eastrop Circus and the new piazza via a new landmark bridge. An alternative idea is to build a landmark building on the roundabout, and connect it to the piazza and Festival Place via two smaller bridges. A new high-rise landmark building is planned on the northern side of piazza along with a new hotel on the entrance to basing view this will turn Eastrop Circus and the piazza into a downtown district.
