The timeline below shows the lifecycle of this project, up to the finalising of Liveable Neighbourhood scheme designs for the Phase 1 areas. It includes the current (active) stage and those already completed, as well as expected future stages and timings, if the project is approved and goes ahead to completion.
We plan to look at further areas following Phase 1, but don't yet have a schedule for this work. We will update our Liveable Neighbourhoods website pages, when details become available.

-
Preliminary technical designs
