Public Realm Works

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. From enhancing footpaths and street furniture to improving accessibility.

These improvements are taking place all over the city.

Castle and Riverfront Zone

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.

Northgate Street

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.

City Road

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.

Racecourse Promenade Upgrading and Enhancement

Improvements have included kerbing, railings, seating, other street furniture, landscaping and a high quality surface finish along the Riverside Promenade route.
