In addition to the review of the existing High Town design it has been determined that the provision of streetscape and green infrastructure elements is a valuable part of the overall public realm improvements to be delivered as part of the HCCI.

This package of streetscape and green infrastructure elements will be identified and procured within the initial phase of the project and will include:
• Street furniture including benches and bins
• Trees and soft landscaping
• Public art
• Provisions to maintain public safety including the risk of errant vehicles
• Cycle storage provision
• Street Lighting
• Improvements to the facilities for markets and events
• Measures to improve air quality
The distribution of these streetscape elements will be undertaken in parallel with the design review and where appropriate they will be installed within the public realm at this point. This will provide for an early enhancement to the public realm whilst other elements come forward over a longer period.

These works will be funded from the LEP Getting Building Grant.
