Issue details
Commissioning the identification, procurement and delivery of the streetscape and green infrastructure elements as part of the Hereford City Centre Improvements (HCCI)
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.
