Works so far
Phase 1 Market Street/Lowfield Street
We have removed the old car park outside Iceland and the bus stops to create Brewery Square, an open, pedestrianised space that can hosts entertainment and events - including our Big Christmas Switch On.
Brewery Square has new surfacing, improved lighting, wider pedestrian spaces, and planting of small green spaces.
Phase 1a High Street
The High Street was in need of a major facelift after more than 30 years without any significant improvement.
Recent works have seen the paving resurfaced using high quality natural stone materials.
One Bell Corner has had a full upgrade. The Glimmer Twins have been installed to celebrate Sir Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, with a green wall standing behind them.
New lighting has been provided and a new planter and seating is on the way.
Phase 2a Instone Road/Lowfield Street junction
The subway has been removed and new signalised pedestrianised crossings provided as well as paving to match Market Street, new planting areas and new street lighting.
