The majority of the public realm improvement works are now complete. George Street features a new resin surface, and Stamford Square has been reopened to the public with a summer long programme of events.
These enhancements were designed to improve accessibility and create a welcoming gateway into the heart of the town centre. This weekend, the ramp will reopen, allowing residents and visitors easy access to the Stamford Quarter. You can now conveniently cross from the transport interchange and walk up the ramp located between Foundation and Pure Gym.
In the coming weeks, additional seating and greenery will be added to further enhance the area. While there is still some work to be done on the stairs next to the ramp, all improvement works are scheduled to be completed by July.
