(13) Upper Wharf, Town Quay Conservation Area (Completed 2006)

This is an area of private land crossed by a public right of way to the entrance to Bath Lane Recreation Ground. The area had become neglected over the years.

The objectives of the improvement scheme were to make the public right of way more legible, whilst retaining areas for private parking on each side, and to create an attractive entrance to the recreation ground.

An opportunity to improve the area arose when part of the area was being re-developed and, with a contribution from the developer, granite setts were used to create a high quality and clearly legible public right of way, with bitmac for the private parking areas on each side. Street lighting was also improved and traditional style lanterns were introduced.
