Chester Renaissance.
Skip Navigation
The first phase of Public Realm Works are a £1.3m project which will improve the way people move around the city and further strengthen Chester's high quality visitor and leisure offer.
The aim is to lovingly maintain what is already there and create a pleasant external environment for all to enjoy. Enhancing footpaths and street furniture whilst improving accessibility around the city.
These improvements are taking place all over the city.
Specific improvements have included the rejoining of the walls over Castle Drive, extending the promenade from the Little Roodee towards the Groves and creating a ramped access point between Castle Drive and the Little Roodee car park.
High quality natural surface treatments have been used in keeping with the setting of the street and its proximity to the Roman Walls and listed buildings.
Enhancements to a street that not only provides a key route between the station and the city centre, but also houses many commercial premises including hotels, retailers and offices.
Improvements have included kerbing, railings, seating, other street furniture, landscaping and a high quality surface finish along the Riverside Promenade route.
