The proposals are part of a package of additional works, which the council are looking to implement following comments made during the public consultation for the Town Centre to Train Station Link Road project.
In September 2022, residents were asked for their views on a concept design. With the comments received, a revised plan was commissioned. This revised plan was then consulted with the public in December 2023. This consultation led to further improvements and final plans for this project.
