Longton public realm and transport consultation
THIS CONSULTATION HAS NOW ENDED
Longton is set to benefit from an initiative which aims to improve pedestrian links between the town’s bus and train stations, the town centre and Tesco retail park. The scheme will also improve congestion and bus services in the town.
The substantial investment has been supported by funding from the government’s Levelling Up Fund, Bus Service Improvement Plan and Transforming Cities Fund schemes.
In order to ensure the benefits of investment are maximised, the works will be co-ordinated to deliver improvements which form part of an overall plan for the town and create a network of improvements.
The scheme aims:
- To provide a more attractive environment and encourage more people into Longton town centre
- To support existing businesses and improve business confidence and investment in the town centre
- To improve civic pride and the setting of the existing Town Hall
- To improve key arrival spaces into the town centre from the bus and rail stations
- To improve pedestrian routes between the bus and rail stations, the town centre and Tesco retail park.
- To improve traffic circulation and bus movements in the town centre.
The majority of improvements will be undertaken in Times Square and Baths Passage. There will also be wider transport improvements and public realm improvements in Strand Passage between the town centre and Tesco retail park.
