• Improved cycling and walking facilities

• Enhanced drainage and land raising

Councillor Alastair Redman, Policy Lead for Business, Regeneration and Commercial Development, said: "Creating outdoor recreation spaces not only brings benefits to our community but also to visitors and local businesses. It's great to see this long term community aspiration become a reality."

Following public consultations, the design proposals received planning permission in November 2019 with a minor amendment to approval approved in January 2021.
