In detail
Using part of Ashfield District Council’s UK Shared Prosperity Funding and S106 funding, the Council aims to improve feelings of safety and reduce anti-social behaviour, promote Hucknall’s history through art and create two welcoming, accessible pedestrian routes into the town centre to encourage more visitors into Hucknall, supporting local businesses.
After taking onboard public comments, the plans for Central Walk include removing the dated arcade canopy, introducing more streetlights and ambient lighting, building planters with integrated seating and bins, standardising the shop fronts, and painting street art.
Over at Chapel Street, the canopy outside B&M will be removed, new paving laid – including the ramp access, the stairs will be widened, new planters, seating and ambient lighting installed, and a mural painted on the side of B&M highlighting Hucknall’s history.
Work is set to start early this year.
