The redesign will prioritize buses, cyclists, and pedestrians with extended lanes, protected bike paths, and safer crossings, all part of a broader £11 million transport upgrade. With the city expecting 100,000 more residents in the next decade, this investment is critical to support active travel, ease pressure on public transport, and future-proof the streetscape — making movement safer, smoother, and more sustainable for everyone.
