The public are invited to attend a drop-in meeting held by Hertfordshire County Council tomorrow (Tuesday, June 6) to discuss proposed changes to Stevenage High Street.
The county council is proposing to widen pavements, install speed humps and reogranise the on-street parking layout.
It also wants to create seating areas and more greenery, install accessible crossing points, and improve walking connections to and from off-street car parks, such as Primett Road.

A spokesperson for the county council said: "We are proposing some improvements to the High Street – not just to ensure businesses continue to thrive, but so that all residents can access them and to make walking, wheeling and cycling safer and easier.
"We are also preparing safety works to change the North Road T-junction in Graveley using funding from local developers, which will include traffic signals, street lights and pedestrian crossing provision."
The county council is inviting people to meet the team and ask questions about the plans for the High Street and works on North Road from 3pm to 7pm in the Oak Lounge at Springfield House Community Centre in Stevenage High Street.
A consultation on the proposed changes is also open until June 11. To have your say, visit hertfordshire.gov.uk/About-the-council/Consultations/Transport-and-highways/High-Street-Old-Town-Stevenage-Improvements.aspx.
