“Refresh” for Middle Street
The county, funded by the Urban Renewal and Renaissance Initiative (URRI) is to carry out a bit of a facelift of Middle Street.
There’s not enough money for a complete re-vamp, but there will be replacement of some of the trees which have failed to thrive - partly because of our harsh climate, but also possibly through insufficent space for water penetration and/or salt used to de-ice the paving.
There will also be some replacement of “tired” street furniture, improved paving at the Parish Church end, together with some works to improve the access from Nile Street.
The scheme, which was approved and budgeted before I arrived at County Hall is well advanced, and intended for later this summer. There will be a display and information day, the date and venue of which is still to be decided. As soon as I know anything more, so will you.
