ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT AREA 3<br />
Town <strong>Centre</strong>/Main Street<br />
It is proposed that the centre of section of Main Street, running from west of the park as far<br />
as ‘The Track’ bookmakers, is to be re-surfaced to indicate a zone shared by pedestrians and<br />
vehicles. The carriageway will be reduced to a consistent width of 6.5 metres. A step up from<br />
the road to the footpath at the kerb will be retained. Parallel parking bays will be provided<br />
on both sides, and semi-mature street trees planted to reinforce the building line. The ground<br />
surface around the cast iron pump is to be restored using river-washed cobbles and stone<br />
edging. The road surface will be replaced with good quality stone setts. Granite kerbs will<br />
be used, and footpaths paved with stone slabs. Stone setts will be used on the pavement at<br />
driveways and entrances indicating a shared use for safety purposes. Hoggin will be used around<br />
the base of the street trees, and bollards, tree guards, benches appropriate to the area will<br />
be used. Improved planting will be provided at corner of Warrington House and entrance to<br />
Fairways housing estate.<br />
