Valley Gardens Project Set to Kick Off After Green Light
The transformative Valley Gardens project is about to move into its final, crucial stage. After a thorough review by council members and officers, the plans have been tightened up with transport data and stakeholder feedback at the heart of changes.
Bus Stops Get a Boost, Traffic Keeps Moving
Key improvements focus on better public transport access. Bus stops will be bigger, making it easier for buses to pull in and out without blocking traffic. This means smoother journeys for commuters and drivers alike.
Contractor Hunt Underway, Work to Last 18 Months
The council has now given the green light to pick a main contractor. Once chosen, the project is set to roll out over around 18 months, marking a major upgrade for the area.
Phase 3 to Revamp Old Steine to Seafront
The upcoming phase covers the stretch from Old Steine to the seafront. It’s packed with features including:
- Better public transport access
- Extra taxi ranks
- Pedestrian-friendly pavements
- New landscaping and sustainable event spaces
- Separated cycle lanes connecting prior phases
- Improved lighting
- More Blue Badge parking bays
- A new junction replacing the Palace Pier roundabout
- Upgraded bus stops for passenger safety and convenience
These changes promise a safer, smoother, and greener Valley Gardens for everyone.
