Broad Street public realm improvements

​​About the project

We will carry out the first phase of Broad Street public realm improvements from late August to December 2025.

Phase 1 will improve the threshold area from Lloyds Bank to the Post Office.

The main improvements include:

• creation of a pedestrian priority area. The street will be fully paved with a flush granite surface across the full extent
• decluttering and emphasising of the entrances to the premises
• adding planters to create a ‘gateway’ and pleasant seating areas
• additional planting to enhance the character and biodiversity
• subtle details and historic reference to create a sense of place
• improved lighting
• low traffic street, with no deliveries after 10am

The 2-way cycling zone on Broad Street will be kept with a defined route.

More information will be provided as the project develops.

This is the first phase of the wider public realm improvement project for the Grande Rue district. Our ambition is to:

• enhance the area’s character
  
• create a space where it is comfortable to walk for all
  
• make it more appealing to residents, businesses and visitors
• maintain access for unloading and servicing
  

These improvements follow a stakeholders’ workshop in 2023 and direct engagement with businesses in 2024. Other phases of the project will be delivered between 2026 and 2028.
