CASTLE STREET IMPROVEMENTS
ABOUT THE SCHEME...
The scheme has been designed to improve safety, accessibility, air quality, and the overall public realm along Castle Street and surrounding junctions. The works will support more sustainable travel choices and help reduce traffic-related emissions in the city centre.

• Resurfacing the carriageway throughout the scheme area
• upgraded footways and paved areas
