Inspired by Alison Blamire’s vision of a “tropical island” in 2007, locals have pushed tirelessly for change, organizing events and rallying support. Now, over £460k from the visitor levy will fund immediate upgrades like wider sidewalks and better bike lanes, with another £1.4m set aside for Phase 2 extending down Nicolson Street. This isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s creating a vibrant community hub for markets, performances, and everyday enjoyment, proving that persistent local voices can reshape city spaces for everyone.
