Berkeley Design

A Partnership group has been working toward the development of a concept to enhance the town centre of Berkeley.

The aim of the project is to:

• Reclaim public space to more easily allow community events and to provide space, for instance, for café tables
• Reconnect the town centre by eliminating the feeling that it is bisected by the road and by providing a focal point
• Engendering a feeling of safety for pedestrians through the slowing of traffic and creating pedestrian crossing points
• Create a destination of choice for local people, visitors and businesses by creating an attractive and distinctive town centre, which the community would be proud of.

Initially the Berkeley community told us that:

1. Crossing the road was difficult and dangerous, particularly for the elderly and parents with children
2. There needed to be a better space for town centre events
3. Too many heavy vehicles came through town
4. Car parking spaces need to be better defined, but not reduced
5. The town centre needed to be made more attractive and greener

The Partnership are now entering their consultation phase and are seeking your input on the concept. Consultation will end on 1st September 2010. Download and complete the following form to provide information on the Market Place and Salter Street concepts.
