RESIDENTS and businesses are invited to see initial proposals today to improve Westover Road in Bournemouth.
Draft proposals go on display which the council says aim to enhance footfall on the street and improve its appearance.
Earlier this year it consulted with businesses and organisations on how Westover Road is currently used and their aspirations for change.
As a result a design has been produced which the council says widens pavements, helps improve the link with the Lower Gardens and reconfigures parking, buses and taxis.
Roger Ball, service director for technical services, said: “Making improvements in Westover Road is an important part of the Town Centre Vision and will help revive Westover Road as a key destination within the town centre.
“This consultation event is part of the first stage of the development process and gives local people and businesses the opportunity to meet the design team and give their views on the draft proposals. This will inform a final design that will then be taken forward for implementation on the ground.”
Drawings will be on display outside the Tourism Information Centre from 11am to 3pm on, or view the pdf by clicking the image above.
