Stroud Town Centre Plans To Go On Show

By admin | April 29, 2008

Blueprints for the future of Stroud Town Centre go on show to the public next week.

The Stroud Public Realm Strategy will guide future investment in any space between buildings, such as roads, pavements, squares etc. It can include the paving and road surfaces, benches, cycle racks, lighting, public art, bollards and railings. The plans on view will cover key areas of the town centre and revised traffic flows.

The plans can be seen on Thursday 8th May (4.30pm - 8pm) in the Ball Room at the Subscription Rooms. This will be the public’s first chance to see the plans, ask questions and make comments.

“Public involvement in this whole process is absolutely essential,” says Caroline White, Stroud District Council’s Development Surveyor. “The town centre belongs to them. The plans on show are proposals - it’s up to the public to tell us whether we’ve got it right and if not, what we need to change. There will be more consultation before anything happens on the ground.”

The Public Realm Strategy project is led by the Stroud Concordat, a body comprising representatives of Stroud District and Town Councils, Gloucestershire County Council, Stroud Chamber of Trade & Commerce and Project Stroud.

The Concordat has commissioned Dorset-based NEW Masterplanning to draw up the Strategy. The company has a long history of working in Gloucestershire. Support will be provided by Hamilton Baillie traffic and shared space specialists. Before starting work, the firm examined the town in detail, collating key information to understand the town as it currently works, including pedestrian, cycle and vehicle traffic; development opportunities and plans for restoring the Cotswold Canals.

The project will be funded by Stroud District Council with some additional funding From Stroud Town Council.
