The Regent Circus improvement scheme is substantially complete with only some minor remedial works outstanding. The scheme has created a continuous bus lane from the eastern end of Commercial Road through to Princes Street and forms part of the Quality Bus Corridor between Wichelstowe and the town centre via Old Town and Mannington. The scheme, which was informed by two public consultations, has been funded by the Swindon and Wiltshire Local Enterprise Partnership’s Local Growth Fund.
The improvements to Regent Circus included the widening and repaving of the existing footpaths on both sides of the road, new bus shelters, new and enhanced street lighting and the installation of soft landscaping in the shape of planters. Improvements have also been made to the drainage in the Regent Circus area and the existing road has been resurfaced.
Those planters hurt my eyes.
