CONSTRUCTION is well underway at Bluewater shopping centre’s Wintergarden dining area.

Dartford MP Gareth Johnson visited the building work last Friday (May 11) to mark the completion of the pouring of 200,000 litres of concrete to support the floor.

When it is completed in the Autumn, the Wintergarden will seat 50 per cent more diners, with 1,000 places and ten food brands.

Mr Johnson said: “It is very exciting to see Bluewater evolving once again. The redevelopment of the Wintergarden joins the Plaza and Glow in broadening Bluewater's already extensive offer, not only for visitors from throughout the South East, but for the immediate local community.

"I am also delighted, but not surprised, that Bluewater remains committed to creating other benefits for the community through this project, including employment and training."
