.STOKE FIELDS
The first phase of the environmental improvements at Stoke Fields conservation area is near completion. These include a new road surface and enhanced street lighting. Improvements to the footpath from Stoke Grove to Artillery Terrace will be included as part of the second phase.
.MILLMEAD LOCK
Following on from last year's works by the National Trust, further improvements are planned at Millmead Lock. The Council has developed a planting scheme in partnership with the Surrey
Gardens Trust and the National Trust featuring ornamental waterside herbaceous plants and grasses.
.TOWN WHARF
A new sculpture called The Bargeman is set to highlight the history of the area between the Town Bridge and the historic Treadwheel Crane. The sculpture has been commissioned by the Guildford Society and will be sculpted by local artist blacksmiths Utopia Forge. The area is also being refurbished with new paving, tree planting, seats and lighting.
.NORTH STREET
The first phase of the development of a pedestrian friendly North Street is starting with the creation of a larger public space outside Guildford Library. New street 'furniture' will be developed to fit in with the new look, and existing facilities (cycle parking, bus stop, etc) will be enhanced by trees. |
