Essential Website Maintenance – Thursday 9th January 2020

We will be carrying out essential website maintenance in the afternoon which will affect some functionality. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience the work may cause and will do all we can to keep disruption to an absolute minimum.

Ivy Street car park


Summary (optional)
start content

The existing car park has been identified for improvements to encourage its use.  The current car park area is under used, unattractive and feels like an isolated space which can also attract antisocial behaviour.

The proposal includes removing the public toilets (which are closed due to vandalism) and creating a more user-friendly car park.  An improved layout would provide an additional pedestrian/cycle route from Abergele Road to Princes Drive and onwards to the railway station and promenade.

The Ivy Street proposal would help to create an attractive town centre with a network of safer and more direct walking and cycling routes to, from and through the car park.

Key issues

  • On the route through the existing carpark there are no paths so pedestrians must walk in the road or through parking areas.
  • Many drivers leave their cars on the pavement near to the toilet block, obstructing pedestrian routes.
  • Anti-social behaviour may limit the attractiveness of the route.
  • No cycle parking provided.
  • Some buildings and areas of public space are in a poor condition.

Proposals

  • Create a walking and cycling path that connects Abergele Road and Princes Drive along the western edge of the car park.
  • Introduce planting, trees and other street furniture to improve the attractiveness of the area.
  • Improve the car park layout to maximise parking spaces and make access and exit easier.
  • Widen pavement at junction with Sea View Road.
  • Demolish the toilets to create a more appealing landscaped area.
  • Add secure bicycle parking.
  • Add electric car charging points.
