1.3. Location of Bangor

Bangor sits along the Menai Strait in the North of Wales and is the only city that parks in Llandudno and Holyhead. However it’s retail role has now generally settled forms part of an urbanised coastline which includes other towns and villages such and whilst the out of town retail will remain an important convenience shopping as Caernarfon, Llandudno and Rhyl. This pattern of settlements stretches all the hub there is an opportunity to reinvent its town centre shopping offer.

The road network around Bangor is also well developed, with the North Wales Expressway looping around the city. However it also has to be noted that this has a negative effect in drawing passing visitors and trade away from the centre and out to the outskirts of the city or to nearby destinations altogether.

Bangor also sits close to Snowdonia National Park and Anglesey, both of which are major tourist destinations which support the local economies. Whilst Bangor has not been traditionally associated with the outdoor tourism, there is potential to make more of these opportunities in the future. For example, is possible for Bangor to become a more of an urban hub for visitors to both Anglesey and Snowdonia, from which they can access several active tourism hotspots found in the region.

Bangor’s role in the region has shifted over time to having a smaller retail offer, with most shopping visits now contained to the out of town areas as well as the new retail Retail parks and standalone operators are in competition with the city centre.

1.4. Area of Focus

This masterplan study is based on a comprehensive analysis of the whole city Whilst the main university campus sits at the top of the hill, overlooking the centre and wider region with interventions mostly proposed for the city centre. In order of Bangor, there are campuses located within the city which form part of the urban to understand how the centre has developed, it’s important to grasp how the fabric, such as the Science campus on Deiniol Road and the Engineering Faculty on wider trends have brought these changes. The proposed interventions are mostly Dean Street. contained to the central area of Bangor due to the need for the centre to change to better serve the whole city and the wider region. A city can only be successful if The Hirael Bay waterfront area predominantly constitutes the Promenade and the it has a dynamic centre that provides for everyone and is well connected to every areas surrounding Beach Road. Whilst the area is mostly residential, with some neighbourhood. commercial use along Beach Road, there is greater potential to add to these facilities, through the redevelopment of the leisure facilities and the quality of the promenade. As it stands, the centre of Bangor is already multi-faceted with shopping, cultural This area also includes Garth Pier, which stretches into the Menai Strait and the and university uses all making up the centre, whilst the outer edge of the centre is cluster of B&B and Public House businesses that formed around it. The adjacent Port composed of predominantly of residential, waterfront and station areas. Penrhyn is an active port area with some fishing but predominantly leisure vessels.

The city centre retail offer is composed of two three distinct components – the two The station area is one of the main gateways to Bangor however as it stands the area shopping centres, large supermarkets and the High Street. The two large shopping east of the station is dominated by parking and the flow of traffic at the junction centres - Menai and Deiniol Centre have a comparatively broad and varied choice with Deiniol Road. The area west of the station is currently occupied by parking, of shops and have only experienced a limited number of vacancies, although this is light industrial uses and the Royal Mail depot. Parts of this area are undeveloped and expected to grow in line with the national trend. There are also three supermarkets under used. This area has the potential to become a much more important part of the located within the central area – ASDA, ALDI and Morrisons, all of which sit within city, with great connections to both the centre of town and the station. proximity to Deiniol Road and have associated free parking areas for customers. The High Street provides a complimentary offer of smaller independent shops, services and food and beverage establishments with a larger variety on offer than could be expected for a similar sized city. The overall level of vacancy is low and the types of shops mostly represent local business or smaller chains, which tend to be more resilient to economic changes. The levels of shop occupancy do increase as one travels further north along the High Street, indicating that some consolidation of retail units might naturally be occurring.

The city has a rich cultural offer and in the centre with Storiel, Frân Wen Youth Theatre, and the Pontio Centre. The latter also acts as the gateway to the University quarter.

Retail and commercial markets are multi-faceted and benefit from location of university.

2.1. Methodology 2.2. Baseline Information

The process for producing the masterplan for the centre of Bangor followed four A comprehensive analysis of the city and its surroundings needed to be undertaken stages which are summarised here: to allow the design team to understand the key factors that shaped Bangor and to be able to relate to the issues that will shape it going forward. This analysis was 1. Baseline review - prior to undertaking any consultation or design work, a predominantly undertaken before any engagement with the community had taken thorough analysis of Bangor was undertaken. This looked at a cross-section of place and any pens actually touched paper. It is presented under three themes issues to understand what shaped Bangor and what are the issues that will need that reflect the issues set out in the 2016 Strategy and Vision for Bangor and were to be dealt with to allow it to remain a successful city in the 21st century. The subsequently used in the masterplanning week workshops. process was also retrospective, with several subsequent studies undertaken, when new issues were brought up through consultation or design work. The Economy and Promotion combined result of the assessment work is presented in Section 2.2. LDA Design have been advised by BE Group on the current market conditions and 2. Stakeholder engagement – prior to undertaking any design work, LDA Design trends in Bangor, to help understand what interventions are needed to allow the city engaged with the Strategic Partnership and the local community to understand to chart a path to a viable and diverse centre. These changes that have taken place their concerns and aspirations for Bangor. Community events included the over the last decade or so are part of a national trend and are influenced by changes Big Masterplanning Week – which were a series of workshops with a cross in the region. Some of these issues are already discussed in Section 1.3. section of the community members which led to the formulation of a vision and principles for the future development of Bangor. In addition to this, an evening A summary of BE Group’s findings on the current retail, residential and commercial drop-in event and a separate future-gazing event with the students from a local markets in Bangor are summarised below. school were also held. More detail on this can be found in Section 2.3. Bangor has a significant level of retailing, including nationally recognised brands, 3. Vision, development sites and projects - following the development of the particularly for a centre of its size. While the representation of retailing in Bangor vision which is described in Sectioin 3, more detailed design and testing is a current strength of the city centre, it means that there is not much potential exercises were undertaken in consultation with Council and the for growth in the retail sector within the high street in future years. Rather, the Strategic Partnership. These looked at potential projects to be undertaken and opportunities are likely to be through smaller, independent operators, including development sites which might enable these projects. The development sites are quality specialist fresh-food operators (e.g. bakery, patisserie, grocer, etc.) and personal summarised in Section 2.4. The projects are set out in Section 4. services (e.g. hairdressers, beauty services, personal therapies, etc.). These are uses that are less vulnerable to the movement to online retail services and reflect a growing 4. Masterplan document - this was produced to pull all the strands of work market share for expenditure on quality and experience. together and show how these conclusions were arrived at, through a comprehensive piece of work, guided by the ambitions of the local community. Bangor has a range of in-centre and edge of centre accommodation, including student accommodation, flats and apartments. This can delay or prevent the development of schemes that have an identified market need, but that are assessed as having a significant financial risk. This phenomenon has occurred throughout the UK and is necessitating innovative partnerships or identifying funding sources to enable schemes to proceed.

The commercial office market in Bangor also benefits from the location of the University in the town, with occupation of office Housing, Health and Well-being space by University users or allied entities. However, it is considered that this is an under-represented sector, compared to other university towns. Private sector Whilst the focus of this masterplanning exercise was not to look at housing collaborations with the University could be further explored and enhanced that allocations or the condition of housing and residential areas in the central area, would result in further demand for commercial office space in the city centre. Office some information about existing allocations and current applications for planning space associated with the University could act as a link between the city centre and permission are summarised in the Development and Environment section. It was the University. also noted that the proportion of residential accommodation on upper floors along the High Street was lower than what could be expected in similar locations.

These places are key to the development of a place as they (anecdotal) evidence of demand for smaller residential units for younger people and act as magnets in drawing foot-fall and investment into the local area. The plan on young professionals. the right hand page shows how the centre of Bangor has a number of destinations, including shopping, cultural and education facilities. Along with housing, the two other factors that influence people’s health and well- being are transport and access to green space. Bangor has a variety of open spaces, However, as more detailed analysis further in this sections shows, these are including parks and gardens, amenity spaces and more natural open areas. However, sometimes disconnected and do not benefit from their proximity and the ‘clustering’ due to the natural topography of the city, these are not always accessible to all effect as they could. Improvements to the public realm could be important in members of the public. Improved infrastructure, facilities and signage could allow addressing this. In terms of visitors to the city, the cultural and city centre shopping for more use of these areas increasing health and well-being benefits. In addition, opportunities, at the moment offer the greatest pull effect whilst the University also providing a high-quality public space in the heart of the centre, could add to the forms a major attraction for those coming to study or work in Bangor. accessibility and presence of nature in the city.

These are the junction between Beach Road and the High Street in the north east, the junction between For vehicular access, the A5, Caernarfon Road and Holyhead Road are the main Hollyhead Road and Ffordd Siliwen in the north west and the junction between the routes into the centre, with Deiniol Road serving as a main distributor road for High Street and the A5 by the railway bridge. Improvements in these areas can have more local roads and lanes either side.

2.3. Stakeholder Engagement

Over a period of just a few months individuals and organisations have worked the second was on Development and the Environment. A drop-in session open to together to set out the vision and to agree this ambitious masterplan. The vision and the public in the evening allowed other people to come and discuss their ideas and set of projects in this document are the result of a stakeholder process. This made the opinions. During the third day students from Friars School attended a workshop and best use of the in-depth knowledge within the city, also bringing in some of the best further discussions were held with individual stakeholders. outside expertise in city visioning and development planning in the country.

During the workshops an incredible range of topics were discussed, solutions Big Masterplanning Week proposed and priorities identified for the masterplan. The Big Masterplanning Week took place in Bangor from 1st to 5th April 2019. Strategic Partnership’s Continued Involvement A day of meetings took place prior to the Big Masterplanning Week of workshops, Following the Big Masterplanning Work, the Design Team prepared a draft on 19th March 2019, to establish some of the key issues affecting the city and gather Masterplan Document with a series of projects and presented these to the Strategic more names of stakeholders to invite to the workshops. LDA Design met Elope, the Partnership on 22nd May 2019. After this meeting, the Strategic Partnership had Estate Division of Bangor University, the Access and Linkages Group and a member further discussions with stakeholders in Bangor and then fed back to the Design of the planning department at Gwynedd County Council. Team their preferred projects and order of priority. They held a further meeting with the Design Team on 31st July 2019 to agree the two priority projects for which A diverse group of stakeholders attended the Big Masterplanning Week who were the design team were to prepare detailed plans. These two projects are set out in representatives from Bangor University, Student Union, City Council, Gwynedd detail in Sections 3 and 4 of this document. The selected projects are included in the Council, Welsh Government, NHS, Bangor BID, the Cathedral, Pontio Arts Centre, appendices to be developed in the future. Sustrans, Storiel, local schools, landlords and several businesses and charities in the city.

The programme of the Big Masterplanning Week consisted of 2 1/2 days of workshops and meetings with stakeholders, 1 1/2 days when LDA Design and PJA consolidated the information received and a final day when stakeholders gathered again for the feedback presentation given by LDA Design.

The workshops focussed on three key themes which were established in the Bangor Strategy and Vision in December 2016. LDA Design kicked off the week by giving an introductory presentation to the Strategic Partnership. This was followed by the first workshop which addressed Economy and Promotion. During the second day two workshops were held, the first was on Health, Housing and Well-Being and

Economy and Promotion Workshop The first out of the three workshops focussed on issues on Bangor’s economy and potential challenges in the future, on how Bangor positions itself going forward and where opportunities exist for the city to develop new businesses and even a new identity. Discussions also focused on the infrastructure and lifestyle changes that would be required to support the transition to the sort of place Bangor can become. At the end of the workshop, participants voted on the most important projects in their opinion to be taken forward. The top three in that order were:

1. More people living in city centre 2. Connectivity with other places – Bangor as hub, the experience should start here 3. The most Welsh city in Wales

A list of other projects and initiatives that were put up for debate is summarised on the opposite page in no particular order.

3.1. Vision

The vision for Bangor promotes the holistic approach which was set out in the Bangor It also celebrates Bangor as a place of global exchange, that is, an exchange of ideas, Strategy and Vision [December 2016]. This was predicated on exploiting Bangor’s knowledge, culture and language, both into and out from Bangor and Wales. This primary role as the sub regional centre for Gwynedd and Anglesey, recognising its makes it different to a town. It is the outreach of a city like Bangor that makes it inherent strengths and latent potential, and eradicating the negatives that have different. As Bangor welcomes students and residents from all around the world beset this city over the last decade and more. If fully realised, Bangor can become the to this corner of Wales at the same time it exports brilliant people and world-class greatest of Welsh cities, offering the whole ambit of attributes and amenities that knowledge and expertise to every corner of the globe. It celebrates Welshness, Welsh makes any city great, but gilded with a sense of Welsh and Celtic heritage. culture and language and embeds as part of this international outreach.

The 2016 Strategy and Vision established the three interdependent themes: We want to put people right at the heart of the vision. Cities are the places of greatest Development and Environment, Economy and Promotion and Housing Health and human congregation, human potential and social progress but equally they can be Wellbeing. The same themes which were used for the Big Masterplanning Week unhealthy, inequitable and stressful places too. The Small World City model has the workshop topics. potential for putting people right at the heart of everything, addressing issues of homelessness, loneliness and isolation, affordability, health and well-being. A Small Development and Environment considers development, the built environment, the World City is a happy city. public realm and transport and pedestrian access. Economy and Promotion looks at business support, marketing and promotion and events. Housing Health and Cities are by their nature, voracious machines that suck up natural resources, Wellbeing focusses on revitalising and growing housing stock within the city as polluting air and water in the process and making greater and greater demands on well as initiatives to support more sustainable and healthy living conditions and the planet from energy consumption through to the generation of waste. A Small access to health and wellbeing services. World City like Bangor can drive behavioural change, by helping its citizens live a simpler, slower life, consuming less, protecting and nurturing natural resources and The 21st Century will become the age of the Mega City where, by 2050, we are told reducing energy consumption. Bangor’s fabulous location between the mountains that 75% of the world’s population will be living in cities. In Britain, our major cities and the sea and its cherished natural setting provides a powerful reminder to its continue to grow and densify. Cities like Manchester and Liverpool, that were once citizens of how fragile and precious is the planet. suffering a decline in population, are attracting people back into their centres. What does this mean for small cities like Bangor? In a world where size seems to matter and in an age of the Mega City, we want to celebrate the role of the Small World City. Bangor is the oldest city in Wales, dating back to the 6th Century. It is also one of Britain’s smallest cities, with a population of around 18,000 people, half of which are students. It is certainly the most Welsh city in Wales with around half the non- student population speaking Welsh. Bangor is also more remote than many cities in Britain, some distance from the major urban areas and larger cities in the UK.

Bangor, a small world city is our vision of what Bangor could be in the 21st Century. It celebrates the idea of a small city, a place that is small in scale, easily understood, compact and well-connected, a place where the different communities that make up the city can congregate and enjoy some of the best virtues of city life but also, feel at one with nature and the stunning North Wales landscape and coastline.

3.2. Vision Objectives - The Five Elements

Sea to Summit

* Celebrate the beautiful waterfront setting and the backdrop of the mountains; * Improve pedestrian and cycle connections between the natural environment and the city centre; * Create a green corridor from the Roman Camp, through the heart of the city and up to Bangor Mountain.

Sea to Summit diagram

41 BANGOR CITY MASTERPLAN

Ideas and Exploration

* As a city of learning encourage ways to use that knowledge to change the world; * Develop an innovation district which encompasses the university’s growing science and technology campus and the station quarter; * Create work spaces around the station which encourage entrepreneurs as well as people learning and developing new ideas to stay in Bangor; * Explore the university’s strengths such as in the marine sciences; * Encourage investment in the city in order to develop the High Street not just as a place to shop but also to eat, drink, enjoy cultural and leisure activities and live above the shops.

42 BANGOR CITY MASTERPLAN

Healthy City

* As a small city with a natural setting, Bangor can develop as a healthy city by improving ways to move around safely and easily; * Radically improve the cycle network across the whole city; * How to reach the many peaceful, beautiful places in and around the city should be communicated more clearly through signage, maps and apps; * Explore the role of technology using apps to promote healthy lifestyles whether for moving around through active forms of transport, shopping for healthy food, physical exercise or information on the proposed Health Hub.

Healthy City diagram

43 BANGOR CITY MASTERPLAN

Fair and Equitable

* Work towards giving everyone in the city more equal opportunities through education and housing; * Improve communication through physical interventions and also through the spread of information using technology so that some communities feel less isolated and disconnected; * Find ways to make isolated communities feel more part of the city and give them a sense of identity for example connect Hirael with the waterfront and new activities there and create new pedestrian and cycle links to Maesgeirchen with signage which highlights incredible viewpoints; * Opportunities around the new Health Hub and Homeless Centre will help provide support for people.

44 BANGOR CITY MASTERPLAN

One World City

* Celebrate Bangor as the most Welsh city and find ways to export the Welsh culture. * Encourage international networks to export brilliance from Bangor through university and hospital exchanges and foreign students returning to their home countries; * Continue to develop the city’s strong links with Cardiff and Europe; * Open more food outlets which offer cuisine from around the world; * Develop the cultural programme through the Pontio Centre and Storiel and other arts venues to improve understanding of arts and culture; * Promote activities in the city to bring together the amazing range of people living there from around the world who have chosen Bangor as their city;

The concept presents a purposeful and innovative long-term strategy to intervene Heart of the City spatially in the city centre through the creation of three distinctive places along the valley: the Station Quarter, the Heart of the City and the Waterfront. Each place is A new Heart of the City is created around the cathedral, the university and the trying to do something different but, critically, are fully integrated with the others clock tower. For this to be successful, the current function of Deiniol Road and its and the wider residential and economic communities.

This provides opportunities to improve leisure, the wider city. culture and events here. The Heart of the City makes better use of the dramatic green links either side of the valley with the prospects and the stunning views that these places provide.

Waterfront The Waterfront provides the opportunity to make much more of Bangor’s relationship with the Menai Strait, its port and the seafront. The waterfront is designed to be a whole experience from one end to the other.

4.2. Framework Plan

The Framework Plan on the opposite page identifies the location of the proposed projects which were selected by the Strategic Partnership based on the issues raised at the Masterplanning Week. The fifteen projects include a mixture of movement and public realm projects all with the intention of making Bangor a better place to live. This section illustrates the projects in more detail and sets out next steps required to bring these forward.

Improvements to Deiniol Road would form one of the main projects as the spine of Bangor, with other projects and key sites connecting to it.

Memorial Square is another key project which would form the heart of the city and be surrounded by other opportunities and connections.

Other projects include connections to the countryside and waterfront, improvements to public realm around the station, waterfront and Garth Pier and new cycle infrastructure to provide a feasible alternative to travel by car.

The full list of projects is shown on the right and this section concludes with two futher city-wide projects: Connected Bangor and Bangor App.

4.3.A. Station Quarter and Cycle Bridge

Type of Project Movement/Place.

Site Description Bangor Train Station forecourt, adjacent green bank and land to the south of the train line.

Land Ownership National Rail, Royal Mail and potentially other private landowners.

Concept There is scope to improve the constrained northern forecourt of Bangor railway station by making it a pedestrian priority area. This not only provides scope for a much more pleasant arrival experience, the reduction of the traffic movement into and out of the station allows for a simplification of the junction and pedestrian crossings at Holyhead Road / Deiniol Road. The detailed treatment will depend on whether traffic circulation is changed (see project E. Farrar Road) but at least would comprise a programme of decluttering and changes to the surface treatments using better quality materials, and the introduction of street trees, together with the introduction of improved facilities for pedestrians and cyclists. This would include provision for a cycle bridge over the railway line. A similar positive transformation – the relocation of vehicles from the front of a station – can been seen at Newcastle Central Station.

Next Steps Draw up detailed plans for public realm improvements in the station forecourt, concept design and viability of a new cycling bridge, explore potential for wholesale changes around the station area, including potential for new mixed use development and changes to traffic circulation and flood mitigation measures.

Land Ownership Gwynedd Council Section AA Concept A comprehensive treatment of the route is proposed from an improved area at the railway station entrance up to Garth Road, which marks the northern limit of the university/civic area of the city centre. The constant design principle is to provide a 6.5 metre wide carriageway: this is a reduction from the present road width, but still sufficient for the passage of two-way traffic on a busy street. The space reallocated is used to create protected space for cycling, wider pavements, and opportunities for greening. The cycling provision would for the most part consist of a two-way stepped track on one side of the street, separated from the carriageway and footway with upstand kerbs. This type of cycle route is commonplace in Denmark and is recommended by the Wales Active Travel Design Guidance. Consideration would be given to the need to introduce smart technology along the route, such as live traffic monitoring which could be used to control real time car park routing systems or variable speed limits at times when pedestrian and cycle numbers are high. Intelligent speed assistance will be mandatory on new cars by 2022. More significant interventions are proposed at three focal points along the route, which are discussed in the sections below. These are University Place, Place Cariadon and Memorial Square. University Parks Road Corridor University Buildings Next Steps 4m 6-7 - 9.1m 3.1m Carry out detailed surveys and carry out viability studies before drawing up detailed plans for public realm improvements and new road layout .

Site Description Focal space at Deiniol Road / Sackville Road (ASDA) roundbaout.

Land Ownership Mostly Gwynedd Council with some private/university ownership.

Concept There is an opportunity to improve accessibility to surrounding green spaces, including the square outside the university’s science and technology campus. Planting interventions would utilize low maintenance, impactful wildflower species and raingardens set against hedges and evergreen shrubs to provide year-round structure. Planting areas soften a much improved road layout and serve to knit together the existing square adjacent to the university and access to the high street beyond. While it would be desirable to remove the roundabout and replace it with more traditional priority junctions. This objective should be retained as a long-term aspiration. This project would consist of retaining the current diameter of the circulatory area, but amending the approach geometry to reduce entry and exit speeds of traffic, and placing zebra crossings around all arms to provide greater priority to pedestrians. The Zebra crossings would include parallel crossings for cyclists, allowing access around the roundabout. Dependent on budget, it would be desirable to change the material treatment of circulatory carriageway so it looks visually similar to the roundels at Poynton, Cheshire.

Next Steps Carry out detailed surveys and discuss plans with neighbouring land owners before drawing up detailed plans.

D. Plas Cariadon Focal Space

Type of Project Movement/place

Site Description Focal space at Garth Road and Deiniol Road roundabout.

Land Ownership Gwynedd Council

Concept The junction of Deiniol Road, Garth Road, Love Lane and Well Street is an important gateway from the north to the University campus and the City Centre. However, it presently has a very complicated layout for vehicles and pedestrians. We propose to simplify this space by introducing one-way operation to Love Lane (one way up the hill) to remove one of the conflicting movements at this junction. The existing signalised crossing next to Aldi is moved closer to Well Street, west of a narrowed entrance to Love Lane. This crossing is where the cycle route switches from the northern side of Deiniol Road to the southern side of Garth © Mikkel Østergaard Road. With the junctions and land width changes, more space is available for public realm, pedestrians and cyclists. It is intended that the focal space marks an intersection in Bangor’s rich character and celebrates the existing vegetation and topography towards the Arts building. Planting interventions utilize low maintenance, impactful wildflower species and raingardens set against hedges and evergreen shrubs to provide year-round structure. A significant (20+m mature height) tree will serve as a wayfinding and placemaking indicator.

Next Steps Carry out detailed surveys and discuss plans with neighbouring land owners before drawing up detailed plans.

E. Farrar Road

Type of Project Movement

Site Description Farrar Road and the adjacent junctions and stretches of the High Street, Deiniol Road and Holyhead Road.

Land Ownership Gwynedd Council.

Concept The one-way system on Farrar Road, High Street, Station Road and the southern section of Deiniol Road has been designed to optimise traffic flow, but reductions in flow since the early 2000s mean that it may no longer be necessary. One-way systems can be problematic as they lengthen routes for cycle users, and the weaving movements required to traverse them are also problematic. A number of potential options could be considered – with or without this assumption – and an option that can be delivered in an incremental process is considered possible, i.e. not dependent on wholesale changes to the complete gyratory. This makes Deiniol Road two-way for its entire length, with the current one-way sections of Holyhead Road and Farrar Road remaining. These could be converted to two-way at a later date once more substantial study has taken place. The design could include a two-way track along the northern side of Deiniol Road, which crosses the minor arm of Farrar Road with a parallel cycle zebra crossing. The geometry of the Farrar Road junction would need to change to accommodate a “teardrop” island, that allows westbound traffic to continue along Deiniol Road, as well as turning left into Farrar Road.

Next Steps Carry out traffic modelling and weight up different options of rearranging the traffic movement before drawing up detailed road improvement plans.

G. College Gardens

Type of Project Place

Site Description Area of existing College Gardens including the public area around the Pontio Centre.

Land Ownership Bangor University

Concept The proposal is to allow for public use and improve the existing College Gardens. New footpath connections are designed to create direct links with the university buildings, the Pontio Centre, the two focal spaces on Deiniol Road and become part of longer distance routes to the north towards the Roman Camp and the Pier. Along these footpath routes stop off places are set in newly landscaped flat spaces from which views can be enjoyed of the city. The arboretum is planted extending the existing tree planting towards the Pontio Centre.

Next Steps Discuss the potential of public use with the University, including any concerns and management considerations that might need to be resolved to allow for this. Carry out detailed tree and topographical survey and prepare a proposal for improvements to allow a more intensive use of this key space.

H. Clocktower Connections

Type of Project Place / Movement

Site Description Crossing of Tanyfynwent and Garth Road, as well as connections to the Clocktower and to Garth Road around the Independent School.

Land Ownership Gwynedd Council

Concept Over the longer term, the environment around the gardens next to Storiel could be further improved by relocation of the bus station. The existing multi- storey car park site at Glanrafon and the Castle Hill surface car park could be transformed into a new “Bus Boulevard Street” with active frontage and a purpose-built environment to support public transport interchange with less intrusion on such a peaceful and sensitive green space. Perhaps more considerable, are opportunities to improve how pedestrians and cyclists travel through this area to access the High Street and the shopping centres. This should include measures to make the connections both convenient but also safe to use.

Next Steps Discuss plans with public transport providers and identify potential development opportunities. Produce tree survey and identify opportunities to improve and create new pedestrian and cycle connections.

I. Memorial Square

Type of Project Place

Site Description Area of existing Memorial Square including the bowling green and play area.

Land Ownership © Alex Giacomini Gwynedd Council

Concept The concept for Memorial Square is: a formalized square set amongst a soft park landscape. The central formalized ‘square’ part of the proposal is envisaged as a level surface divided over two main levels by seating steps. The soft landscape includes proposed planting as well as the existing planting along the footpath. The richly planted Cathedral Gardens and Bible Garden contribute to the natural setting. Shared surface crossings at the improved Deiniol Road integrate Memorial Square to its wider, celebrated context of the University, Memorial Arch, the High Street and wider landscape features. It is proposed that it is completed in two phases.

Next Steps Identify suitable funding opportunities, carry out detailed surveys and draw up detailed public realm proposals.

K. Cycle Route on High Street

Type of Project Movement

Site Description The full length of the High Street.

Land Ownership Gwynedd Council

Concept The High Street will become a principal cycle route through the city and to Maesgeirchen beyond. Three different approaches and actions are needed to allow this: 1. The predominantly residential part of the High Street would function as a ‘Quietway’ where cyclists would share the carriageway with vehicles, but reducing the amount and re-directing of traffic in this area would need to happen first to allow this. Cyclists should also be allowed to travel in both directions here. 2. The high street is currently subject to a pedestrianisation order that precludes cycling. Exempting cyclists from the pedestrianisation orders would be required to allow people to travel on a bicycle through this part of the High Street. There may be some safety concerns over allowing cycling in the pedestrianised sections of the High Street but cities such as Leicester, have shown that actual levels of conflict between pedestrians and cyclists are very low. Cycling in pedestrianised areas is supported in the Wales Active Travel Design Guidance. 3. The southern area of the High Street should allow cyclists to travel in the opposite direction to motor traffic. This will need careful study, but experience has shown that contraflow cycling can operate safely even where space is limited.

Next Steps Carry out assessment of the proposed measures and identify suitable budget opportunities to carry out the work, as it’s unlikely to have a considerable cost. Use opportunity to review the circulation of traffic in the northern part of the street and Hirael area longer term.

L. Key Pedestrian Route

Type of Project Movement

Site Description Combination of existing and proposed footpaths stretching from the Roman Camp to Maesgeirchen

Land Ownership Predominantly Gwynedd Council with some areas owned by the University

Concept It is proposed to create a long distance recreational route that would link the centre of Bangor and all of its key destinations with the landscape setting and historic monuments. This would allow both visitors and local residents to appreciate the setting of the historic city and access the natural recreational spaces with more ease. The route would also link to the existing Public Rights of Way and long distance routes. Most of these connections already exist and require improvements whilst in some instances new and accessible routes might be appropriate, supported by other facilities such as benches and other outside furniture.

Next Steps Survey the condition of existing routes and identify opportunities for new connections. Establish dialogue with the University where connections are sought through their land.

M. Pedestrian Route to the Waterfront

Type of Project Movement

Site Description The existing route at the back of the Bowls Club and swimming pool.

Land Ownership Predominantly Gwynedd Council’s land

Concept It is understood that works are to take place to build new flood defences here. This provides the opportunity to integrate a beautifully designed and active route along the waterfront which also functions as an effective flood defence. The existing Lon Adda path provides a pleasant walking and cycling route via Bangor Park to the sea front. Continuity of this route could be improved by providing pedestrian and cycle priority crossings where it interfaces with roads. * Around the Pier Head, there have been local calls to make some roads one way in order to reduce conflict when coaches arrive and depart. This presents opportunity to widen footways (there are some areas where footways are either absent or discontinuous).

* Where footways cannot be introduced, a “pedestrian priority street” could be delivered, where the street is laid out in materials and with street furniture that emphasises its use as a shared surface. There are existing examples of this treatment elsewhere in Bangor (e.g. Glanrafon Hill).

Next Steps Establish the long term plans for the flood defence project, Fire Station and other surrounding uses to see whether these improvements can be provided as part of a wider redevelopment of the area.

Type of Project Place

Site Description Garth Pier and surrounding area.

Land Ownership Predominantly Gwynedd Council’s land with potentially some privately owned.

Concept Several enhancements are proposed to the setting and use of the pier, including: 1. Enhance approach with higher quality public realm and landscape enhancements to the existing open space. 2. Move car parking to road side to free public space overlooking the waterfront and allow use as spill-out space from existing businesses. 3. Add pontoon on the pier in order to provide access for ferries and cruising berths. 4. Improve connectivity by bus to allow inter-operation with ferry service to/ from Beaumaris Castle. 5. Create link to improved pedestrian route (see project: L. Improved Pedestrian Route to the Waterfront)

Next Steps Engage with ferry service providers and explore opportunities for services from pontoons. Carry out detailed surveys and draw up plans for public realm improvements and identify opportunities for funding.

O. Hirael Bay Waterfront

Type of Project Place

Site Description Garth Pier and surrounding area.

Land Ownership Predominantly Gwynedd Council’s land with potentially some privately owned.

Concept The new flood defence project will provide opportunities for improvements to the public realm along the waterfront: * The flood defences themselves would be built as the decking, seating and pedestrian and cycle route all incorporated in to the structure. LDA has designed many successful examples of this including at Littlehampton and Portsea.

* A pedestrian cycle route would run along the waterfront connecting to routes to Memorial Square, Hirael and the Pier (see project: L. Pedestrian Route to the Waterfront).

* Adjacent to the retained football pitch, a larger skatepark is included offering a street plaza style terrain.

* A pop-up shack, selling local sea food could be located in a landscaped park with seating, play space and tree planting.

* Beach Road is to have a new road surface treatment to create a pedestrian friendly environment and separate cycle route.

* A car park is to be included at the High Street end.

* Beyond the car park a temporary structure, for example designed from shipping containers will test other uses such as workshop spaces.

Next Steps Further develop the public realm proposals alongside the progress of the flood defence project.
