Pedestrians, cyclists, and local businesses will experience minimal disruption, as there are no planned road or footpath closures.
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.”
