Market Place Design
Rich House 22 Nov 2018
The revamp of Romsey's Market Place will be starting in January. To see the detailed plans and information about the work take a quick trip to Hampshire County Council's page https://www.hants.gov.uk/transport/transportschemes/marketplaceromsey. The page says the work will "make Romsey town centre more accessible to pedestrians and cyclists" and lead to an "improved environment / experience for cyclists". Do you think it will deliver on this? Should it have done more? The Market Place Street Furniture Plan shows cycle parking to the East of the Market Place (see our extract of part of the plan below). Test Valley Borough Council say:
After those drawings were prepared, it was agreed that some cycle parking should be provided next to the seating and tree on the western side of the paved area, as well as on the eastern side. The exact location/numbers of cycle stands on either side will need to be agreed on site as the scheme is progressed
There will be a dop in event on Wednesday 28 November between 5pm - 7pm at Romsey Town Hall....
