Following the removal of a red footbridge near the main shopping area, the next stage of the Station Quarter project is to have a new signalised pedestrian crossing installed at Lawn Central to improve pedestrian connectivity between the railway station and the town centre.

Removing the ramp and steps is also part of the development, as well as having newly paved footpaths, landscaping of public areas including tree planting, and highway realignment and resurfacing.

A full road closure is now in place in Lawn Central during the work, which is set to be completed by the winter.
