The route between Civic House and Riverside Park is getting a new lease of life. Over the next six months, we’ll plant 48 trees, improve crossings and create wider paths along the harbour.
Walking routes will stay open during the works. The signed diversion adds approximately ten minutes to your journey. Residents with mobility needs can request a step-free alternative by calling our transport team before travelling.
What’s changing?
We’re adding level crossings, new seating and clearer street lighting. The first phase covers Harbour Road, from Market Lane to the footbridge.
“This is about making everyday journeys easier — whether you’re heading to work, meeting a friend or walking home.”

A welcome in every language
