Project aims

The proposed market square redesign seeks to improve the quality and quantity of public space, generate creative enterprise opportunities, and provide opportunities for the community to contribute to the design of the public realm.

The aim is to refurbish an underused public space, support current and new market traders, high street businesses, local community groups and residents. The design approach follows principles of good urban design to create active, well-managed, flexible, green public space and reinforces existing green routes, improves connections, to create a place for the community and a new destination for visitors.
