  • Prices Street Consultation Summary

    Prices Street Consultation Summary

    APPENDIX 4 PRICES STREET CONSULTATION SUMMARY The council is working with Better Bankside, the Kirkaldy Testing Museum and the developers of the Bankside Hilton to improve the environment in Prices Street following the completion of the construction of the new hotel. Consultation was carried out from 23 October to 28 November 2014, with proposals to landscape the highway and install planters, street trees, seating, and a special entrance treatment incorporating artwork for the grade II* listed Kirkaldy Testing Works. This note summarises the reasons for investing in the project, the method of consultation, a detailed response to comments made, and next steps for the project. Why invest in improvements at Prices Street? The proposal to make further improvements to Prices Street has arisen from several key opportunities: 1. The need to create new and improved open spaces to provide for the large numbers of new residents and workers moving into the area. By upgrading the public realm we are better able to provide for our communities and meet their expectations. Open space improvements will include street trees and planting will help contribute to improved air quality, sustainable urban drainage, and a high quality amenity and social space for the enjoyment of local residents, workers and visitors. The council has carried out extensive consultation on a programme of public realm improvement works across Bankside called the “Bankside Urban Forest”. One of the key project proposals to come out of the consultation process was to make further improvements to Great Suffolk Street as a key spine which links Bankside and the Elephant and Castle.

    This Paper Begins with a Specific Walk in London, but Is More

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Brighton Research Portal Neither Here nor There: Walking in forgotten territories* Luis Diaz University of Brighton A version of this paper was delivered at the Walk21 conference in Copenhagen, 2004. The Walk – Mile End Tube Station to Alphabet Square The walk begins at Mile End tube station (zone 2) in east London and ends at a residence. Exiting the tube station on Mile End Road you turn right on to Maplin Street. The street ends after 40 meters as it enters a housing estate; the pedestrian path continues straight onto a ‘bridge’ that does not, in fact, bridge anything. The estate consists of several four and six storey brick buildings and a pair of tower blocks. At the end of the bridge you turn left onto Hamlets Way for 30 meters and right onto English Street, a cul-de-sac. At the end is a primary school. Just before reaching the end you cut across what looks like a private courtyard fronting two brick houses to reach Southern Grove Street. This street is basically a road with two narrow pavements lined by walls on each side; on one side are the backs of houses and the school and on the other the wall of a cemetery. The vista down Southern Grove is dominated by a 24-storey tower block whose base consists of two storey Victorian terraces. At the end of the street you turn left on Ropery Street and enter an enclave of Victorian terraces.
