Victoria Road Gateway

Works to transform properties and businesses on Victoria Road started in May 2024.

Over half a million pounds is being invested into the project to create a coherent streetscape which capitalises on the town’s rail heritage. The project seeks to breathe new life into the area by creating an attractive thoroughfare between Bank Top train station and the town centre.

The works will encompass both residential and business properties and will focus on external improvements, including new paintwork and the installation of solid timber doors. Businesses will also benefit from updated shop fronts and hand painted signage inspired by the town’s rail history. New seating and planting along the street is also planned.

So far over half of property owners in the area have signed up for support and engagement with local residents and businesses is ongoing.
