Scheme descriptions
| Scheme name | Scheme description |
|---|---|
| Market Square – Streets for People | Public realm project for the existing Shipley Market Square that will improve air quality and safety, reduce traffic speeds, improve public transport accessibility, support walking and cycling, provide greener streets and create more pleasant places to stop, spend time and relax. |
| Public Toilets | Provision of much needed town centre public toilets to be managed and maintained by Shipley Town Council. |
| Canal Road Corridor – Naturalising Bradford Beck | A redesign of Bradford Beck to reduce flooding on the key road corridor connecting Shipley to Bradford, whilst also creating a new park with enhanced amenity and wildlife value. The design will involve removing an 80m long concrete culvert, re-naturalizing the flow of Bradford Beck. Towns Fund resources will be used to reinforce the routes from the de-culverting site to Shipley town centre. |
| Active Travel to better connect Shipley to surrounding areas and Saltaire | Deliver improved active travel routes to link the Market Square project to the railway station, as well as Shipley town centre to Saltaire (along the towpath) and surrounding neighbourhoods. |
