New life for Europe’s longest high street.

Our breadth of experience and services helped us win the role of lead designer for this wide-ranging urban programme.

We revived the high street with new lighting, paving surfaces and power supplies for street traders.

The new town square and gardens link the retail and market areas, the bus station and a rail interchange, which we also upgraded.
