Coates Road is to remain pedestrianised following successful safety measures introduced over the last year.

During an External Spaces Review Coates Road was identified as a busy area with narrow footpaths and measures were put in place to limit the number of vehicles accessing it.

Planters have been placed in the parking areas and a barrier has been installed on Coates road adjacent to the East Entrance.
