Considerations

• Creation of a new ‘Town Square’ outside The Brunel Inn where there is a natural widening to the high street

• Belle Vue Road & Culver Road provide temporary diversion for vehicles

• Increased planting to emphasise the ‘green realm’ in the town centre

• Shared space environment will naturally reduce traffic speeds

Opportunities

• Shared space ‘Gateway’ across Fore Street

• Exploits natural set-back of buildings

• New planting at pedestrian level

• ‘Streets for People’ design-code driven

• Becomes the town square during frequent, weekend events

• Perhaps closed to private cars once a month for community use.
