A feature of the town centre improvement scheme (TCIS). The project aims to develop a pedestrianised section of the High Street between Baker Street and Watnall Road. The scheme received final funding approval from the Department for Transport in February 2015 ("procured using the Medium Scheme Framework 2, through the Midlands Highway Alliance"). Carillion/Tarmac JV were awarded the contract and work started on site in January 2016, with a completion date in May 2017. The scheme aims to reduce traffic congestion, create an attractive shopping centre, attract new retailers and to assist in the regeneration of the town. The blue car looks set to drive along the new relief road on the left, whereas the grey car is about to join Baker Street, where the town’s markets are held.
