The Enhancing Chester City Centre Pedestrianisation engagement is now closed.
Thank you to everyone who took part. Your feedback has been considered by Cheshire West and Chester Council to help shape proposals for the enhanced pedestrianisation of Chester City Centre and inform a decision about whether to proceed with a formal order to make these changes.
A copy of the feedback is available here, which includes our response to the key messages raised and the next steps.
A statutory Highways Consultation will be carried out in early 2023 and there will be further opportunities to respond and share your views on the proposals through this consultation.
Much has changed over the last two years. The Covid-19 pandemic has made everyone think about what is important to them and how they have had to adapt their lifestyle. Our City Centre has faced the same challenges with retailers finding new ways of delivering their products and services to their customers. One of the changes we have seen in the city is an increase in the number of hospitality venues offering Alfresco drinking and dining through enhanced pedestrianisation. This has added a vibrant and exciting dynamic and has bridged the gap between the day time and night time economies, which we want to encourage and continue.
We would like to hear your views on enhancing several pedestrian access routes in Chester City Centre.
The access routes we are considering are:
Bridge Street and Watergate Street
Northgate Street, Eastgate Street and St. Werburgh Street
Frodsham Street and Foregate Street.
Find out more:
