There will be a total of three public benches installed between Prospect Terrace and Fairfield Terrace, the first of which is now in place.
The last phase also includes the installation of a Zebra Crossing at the War Memorial, signage and road markings across the whole scheme area, including surrounding roads.
The scheme was supposed to include tree pits, however due to ‘unexpected underground services not shown on historic plans’, they could not be installed below the footway at the western end of Queen Street.
