Residents in an East Midlands town have welcomed multi-million-pound plans to transform their community, saying it badly needs a 'face lift'. Long Eaton was awarded £24.8m funding from the Government last June to move forward with its Long Eaton Town Investment Plan.
The projects are due to start to be submitted to the Government with timescales between June 2022 and June 2023. The projects involve improvements to the Derby Road junctions at the Green, which could see bus bays relocated and restricting certain vehicle movements. It also includes improvements to the High Street and Market Place.
Plans also involve pedestrian and cycleway improvements around the town which include the bridge at Broad Street which connects West Park to the town centre, and an opportunity to build a new multi-purpose pedestrian and cycle bridge over the canal at Britannia Road.
