About the project
Broad Street phase 1 includes the development of the Grande Rue district.
Our aim is to:
- prioritise walking and create more comfortable routes for pedestrians
- enhance the areas character, identity and greening
- create an appealing space for business and visitors
Phase 1 will include:
- pedestrian priority area with quality paving throughout and a flush walking space
- bespoke furniture for biodiversity planting areas and opportunities for varied seating, incorporating details that reference local history and identity
- new lighting and more efficient use of other street furniture
It will create a gateway to the future Broad Street space and will function as a gateway, including:
- reduced access width will allow two-way cycling
- morning deliveries until 10am
