Plans Progress To Improve Worcester City Centre

Construction News Image
Plans to revitalise parts of Worcester city centre have taken a step forward as works at The Cross will start shortly.

Over recent months improvements have been taking place on Angel Row and Angel Place (Phase one) and The Trinity, St Swithin's Street and Trinity Passage (Phase two).

The works on The Cross, being delivered by Worcestershire County Council, are scheduled to last for up to 19 weeks and will include restrictions to traffic movements to enable the improvements.

Councillor Marc Bayliss, Worcestershire County Council's Cabinet Member with Responsibility for Economy, Infrastructure and Skills and Leader of Worcester City Council, said: "These works have continued at pace over the past couple of months and it’s great to see Phases one and two on schedule.

"It's fantastic news that the third phase of work is now about to begin on The Cross. Improving the city centre will make the area more attractive to everyone including residents, shoppers and businesses, helping to create a better environment, worthy of Worcester's historic character. I'd like to thank everyone for their patience and support as the work progresses."

The improvements on The Cross will include new surfacing, lighting, planting and decluttering. The existing cycle shelters will also be refurbished.

The overall programme, which will continue into 2024, is part of the major regeneration of the city centre, supported by £17.9 million from the Government's Future High Streets Fund.

The city centre programme follows Worcester City Council's successful bid for funding from the Future High Street Fund.
