Improving St Mary Street and High Street
From 6th August, there will be changes to the use of the roadway in St Mary Street and High Street.
Essentially, general traffic will be prevented from travelling along St Mary Street and High Street, initially for an experimental period. This will apply to St Mary Street, from its junction with Mill Lane, along to and including High Street as far as the junction at Castle Street, in both directions.
Buses, taxis, cyclists and emergency vehicles will be allowed to use the roadway as they do now.
The removal of general vehicles will reduce queuing traffic in the street, improve air quality and provide more predictable journey time for buses. The impact of this experimental phase will be monitored. If the scheme is made permanent, public realm improvements including new wider pavements and public art will be introduced. People will be able to enjoy the experience of shopping and will be encouraged to visit the area.
