I know this is not a 'building' thread as normal, however, it is an important part of Leicester's regeneration.
Gallowtree Gate has already been pedestrianised, with Market Street and Charles Street following suite and others thereafter; East Gates, Clock tower, Market Approach, High Street, Hotel Street, around Leicester Lanes, Halford Street, Belvoir Street, King Street and Granby Street. There are plans for a square outside the new Performing Arts Centre aswell.
For full details see:
Leicester City Council Streets + Spaces website.
East Gates render (with proposed 'wooden arch' to denote the location of one of Leicester's old town wall gates):
High Street is the current road to be pedestrianised, to coincide with the Autumn 2008 opening of the Highcross Leicester development and to create an attractive approach to the scheme:
Market Place Approach (also started):
Belvoir Street:
Granby Street:
King Street:
