3. PLACE
100 % of residents surveyed think the appearance of the street is good/ attractive Place-making is an important part of a Street Design project. If a place is not inviting and attractive, people may not want to linger. At the heart of Cockmuir Place, there is a large grass area that was once a large car park. The residents took a courageous decision to remove some excess parking space, and the benefits have been clear to see. NEW FEATURES 3 Rowan Trees 7 Planters Large Grass Area Patio Area Coloured Crossings Stepping Stones Herb Garden “ It’s a lot brighter and friendlier with colours and designs. ” - Pupil Planters packed with colourful shrubs and bulbs provide a place to sit and relax. The contents were chosen to be low-maintainance and the bark layer makes weeding easy. Residents commited to look after the planters themselves; feeding and watering them when necessary. Even functional aspects to the street, such as crossings and parking spaces, now look warm, bright and engaging. The street makes sense to pedestrians, cyclists and drivers. Cockmuir Place is warm, inviting and interesting. The community spirit is reflected by the design. 3. PLACE - APPEARANCE
