Tombland and Upper King Street area

Started: August 2020
Completed: Summer 2021

The main aims of this project were to:

• Improve walking and cycling links through the Tombland area and connect it to the railway station, Magdalen Street and the Norwich Lanes
• Provide more space for people to access public transport and improve bus journey times
• Make the area more accessible for disabled people, including people who are blind, visually impaired or have reduced mobility
• Attract investment and boost the visitor economy by improving the quality and look of the area.

Background

A consultation took place in February 2019 to help shape the final version of the scheme, which was approved by the Transport for Norwich Joint Committee in August 2019.
