Welles Street is home to hospitality venues, services, offices, and residents, making it a popular place to live, work, and visit. Through Long Term Plan submissions and feedback on the South-East Central Neighbourhood Plan, we’ve heard that people would like Welles Street to have more trees, seating areas, slower traffic, and wider footpaths.
The Enliven Places Programme which has funded trees on Southwark Street and created new public spaces on vacant central city sites, has a small budget to improve Welles Street. However, the budget limits us to a light-touch upgrade, so we want to know what’s most important to you.
Your feedback will help shape a project that meets your needs and reflects your ideas to achieve positive outcomes for everyone. We are also aware of some stormwater and maintenance issues which we will take into consideration with any design proposals.
