The initial phase included:

  • Removing some railings
  • Installing new cycle stands
  • Adding bins to the area

A second phase, scheduled for April / May , will involve:

  • Relocating and replacing benches on Central Avenue
  • Creating a new seating and welcome area near 200 Degrees Coffee

RBC’s Deputy Leader, Cllr Abby Brennan, said:

“It’s fantastic to see this project underway, delivering visible improvements to West Bridgford town centre.

“Small enhancements like these can make a significant difference, and we hope they will encourage more people to visit and enjoy the area.

“Supporting Rushcliffe’s retail areas and local businesses is a key priority, and this initiative is one way we’re fulfilling that commitment.”
