This is a photograph facing north along New Quay Road towards the swing bridge. The former bank is in the foreground to the left.
This is an artist’s sketch to illustrate how the road could look. The aim of the design is to improve and enhance the space for pedestrians, giving people more reason to spend time here.
It also aims to enrich people’s experience of the historic buildings, harbour and swing bridge by placing seating so that these views can be enjoyed.
Planting and trees help to provide a sense of place, improve air quality, help people feel closer to nature and provide shade in hot summer months. The trees would be carefully located to ensure they don’t block views.
This is a plan view illustrating how the new street arrangement at New Quay Road could look. We are proposing two new raised speed tables which can be used as informal crossing points to make it easier for people to move around the town centre. One would be on New Quay Road, connecting the pavement by the former bank to the harbourside pavement opposite. The other would be before the swing bridge, connecting the harbourside paving with St Ann’s Staith.
Pavement widening by the former bank and outside Papa’s restaurant would provide space for new seating, new planters, tree planting and new cycle stands. The paving at the mouth of St. Ann’s Staith would be reduced to ensure there is enough space for vehicle movement.
