Burghill Traffic Calming
Burghill, Herefordshire
Link were appointed by Herefordshire County Council to support the S106 works to the village of Burghill. The works consisted of passive traffic calming measures to be introduced through the section of the village where a school was situated. Further works to improve the pedestrian access and safety of the school were also completed.
In order to improve the safety of the area, traffic calming measures such as white line marking, dragon teeth, gateway design and new 20mph while lights are flashing signs were introduced.
This forms part of larger S106 works throughout Herefordshire to improve the safety for pedestrians, residents and school areas. Link are involved in a number of other traffic calming projects with Herefordshire County Council. Safety is of the upmost importance, which is why Link believes that these works in Herefordshire are key.

Cheltenham Public Realm
Cambray Place, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire
Working closely with the Landscape Architects, Link were appointed by CBC to prepare the highway design details to support the proposed upgrade of the Public Realm along Cheltenham High Street. The proposed improvement works were to be completed under a S278 Agreement.
The works included the complete replacement of the existing road surfacing with natural block paving. The drainage design utilised rain gardens to enhance the bio-diversity impact of the proposals all designed to the highway authority standard. In order to make the road a pedestrianised zone the Traffic Regulation Order had to be revised. Other constraints included a number of underground services and protruding basements.
