East Staffordshire Regeneration Programme

The Station Street regeneration works which started at the end of March 2020 have now been completed.

Phase 1a of the programme is made up of defined projects that are currently in the early stages of development. Each of these projects will be managed by the relevant Council team and portfolio holder at both ESBC and SCC and will be completed as per the existing in-house project management methodology and line management approach. The individual projects include:

• Improvements to Andressey Passage, in terms of safety and security
• The improvement of areas of the Memorial, Remembrance and Abbott’s Gardens and the greening of town centre.
• Improvements to current, and the commissioning of new, public works of art
• Improvements to the Washlands to create a more aesthetically appealing, safe and interesting attraction for residents and tourists.
• Improvements to the interior and exterior of Burton’s Railway Station
• Changes to the traffic flow of Coopers Square Car Park to help reduce the backlog of traffic onto Union Street.
• Changes to the timing of the traffic lights on Union Street (outside the entrance to the Cooper’s Square and Sainsbury’s Car Parks) to improve traffic flow and further reduce congestion.
• Manor Croft – Reviewing the layout, number of parking bays, signage and length of stay.
• New Street – Considering the implementation of a Permanent Traffic Regulation Order.
