The works consisted of passive traffic calming measures to be introduced through the section of the village where a school was situated.

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.

  • Full 2D and 3D design and setting out
  • Pavement and Kerbing constructions
  • Road markings and signage to TSRGD
  • Street Lighting
  • Sustainable Drainage Design
