The pedestrian on the pavement parallel with the new 'town centre relief road' is walking towards its junction with Station Road. This road was opened in November 2016. The overall 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. The work, including a pedestrianised section of High Street - between Baker Street and Watnall Road - is due to be completed in May 2017. The overall scheme aims to reduce traffic congestion, create an attractive shopping centre, attract new retailers and to assist in the regeneration of the town. The plans also incorporated flood relief measures, part of which are seen here. This stream, the Whyburn, has a total length of around 2.5 miles (4.0 km), and terminates in a confluence with the River Leen immediately upstream of Mill Lakes, Bestwood Village.

This 'town centre relief road' is a feature of Hucknall’s current town centre improvement scheme (TCIS). It was opened in November 2016. This is a view from its mid-point (approx) between the new Annesley Road mini-roundabout the Station Road/Ashgate Road area. Buses travelling towards Nottingham from the Wighay area of Hucknall now turn right near the car seen here in order to rejoin High Street.

An early development of terraced houses from the time when the coal industry really got going in Hucknall. An interesting mixture of stone and brick construction, it appears that the stone is used only for the façade with the remainder of the building being of brick construction. This can be seen on the gable end where the three storey houses start, but was also clear from other observations.

This is a view from near the town centre end of Annesley Road, looking towards Station Road/Ashgate Road. Buses travelling towards Nottingham from the Wighay area of Hucknall now turn right behind the on-coming white car in order to rejoin High Street.

The nearest building is the latest addition to the complex.

Now that vehicles can no longer be driven along the Watnall Lane-Baker Street section of High Street, a new "buses only" link road has been created to connect the Portland Road end of High Street with the recently completed relief road (ahead).
