As part of the Plaza works design, and again with our specialist Paving Partner Miller Druck, our works included the installation of banded granite paving in a feature direction line to incorporate the future plaza features including bespoke lighting, benches, soft landscaping and associated street furniture all designed by the landscape Architect Edco.
- Our works to phase 1 were completed with the installation of numerous cycle stands, new street furniture all incorporating the future plaza design that will embrace the New Public Library.
