At the Council Meeting on Tuesday 12 December 2023, Councillors endorsed the final Concept Plan which had been updated in accordance with the feedback we received in both rounds of consultations and also after undertaking further feasibility studies.

Temporary road closure and pop-up park

At the same Council Meeting, Councillors also noted the temporary road closure of Charlotte Street between Church Street and St Crispin Street for the purpose of installing a temporary pop-up park and conducting traffic and parking studies from Monday 5 February until Monday 15 April 2024.

This period of temporary road closure will allow us to further understand the impact a road discontinuance would have on local traffic and parking conditions. The traffic and parking studies will be undertaken by an independent traffic engineering and transport planning consultancy to determine any transport movement impacts in the local neighbourhood.

The pop-up park will include seating and large pot plants, so that people can enjoy sitting outside over the summer months. While this is the same location as the proposed Charlotte Street Park, this will be a temporary installation and not indicative of the final design of the final park.

Entry to the library and footpaths will remain accessible, but the road will be closed to all motor vehicles.
