How we will develop designs and engage with you
We are at the very early stages of speaking to mobility and accessibility groups, residents, businesses, cultural venues, and other key partners such as emergency services and local councillors.
Over the next year, we will use this feedback to help us develop design proposals as part of Stage 2, as set out by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Plan of Work (link).
We will carry out further engagement and consultation on these proposals.
Making sure everyone can access the area
We know that people will still need get to the Old Town by car, for example
- local residents
- blue badge holders
- those with mobility issues who may rely on taxis to help them get around if they are not blue badge holders
- businesses which need reliable deliveries, and services
We will carry out an Integrated Impact Assessment which we will share and review throughout the project. We will also carry out further consultation on accessibility with local groups and residents.
