More information about the improvements
The final scheme has been developed to strike a balance between maintaining a town centre that is safe and welcoming while supporting the needs of local business and residents’ parking.
- A permanent one-way road layout for traffic heading east
- Widened pavements and slightly narrowed road to create a safer layout for pedestrians and westbound cyclists
- A contraflow cycle lane heading west, with a segregated cycleway on Edinburgh Road.
- A restricted zone through the High Street to restrict parking
- Most of the existing pay and display parking bays will remain
- Full time disabled parking places will be retained
- A 7.5 tonne weight limit on the High Street will be introduced with a relaxation to allow morning deliveries
- Dedicated loading bays on the High Street that operate during the morning
- A Car Club parking bay on the High Street and two EV charging bays on Edinburgh Road
- We have included a significant number of spaces for visitors and residents to park on Edinburgh Road
- The heritage railings will be refurbished on the Terraces and outside Rosebery Hall
- The Town Crest on Rosebery Hall will also be refurbished
