Upcoming work
Phase 1a High Street.
The improvement works along the High Street are now almost complete. As well as new paving; new electrical connections, lamp columns and ducting have been provided.
Design works are underway to install bollards that can be used to secure the High Street from vehicle entry during certain events, like our St George's Day or Festival of Light Parades, or the Big Christmas Switch On.
Once this design work is complete, a new planter will also be installed in the High Street, which will include new seating. Locations for additional seating which does not impact on shopfronts or access along the High Street is also being investigated.
Phase 3 Hythe Street and Spital Street and Phase 4 Westgate Road/Hythe Road junction and Prospect Place/Kent Road junction
Timings for work on Phases 3 and 4 will be shared once they are finalised.
Please bookmark this website for further updates and visit our Facebook page where you find updates on forthcoming road closures and traffic lights.
Please note that we cannot control works carried out by statutory undertakers, such as water and electricity companies and so areas of black top may still appear around the town centre. However, we will be ensure that the granite paving is replaced in good time.
