Feedback: Dark Arches

Comment Response
Use arches for businesses, restaurants, shops and art galleries / exhibitions involving universities.
Agreed.
Problems of geeting businesses interested without getting a new entrance to the station, restore railway south entrance.
Discussions are underway with network rail over a new entrance to the station from the Dark Arches.
Sound and light would be great. A lighting scheme which changes periodically would also be good, with darkness / motion sensors.
There will be a light installation which will change everyday, however the sound installation will only be heard in Neville Street as part of that scheme.
Flowers, plants and murals would be nice.
The team consensus is that this kind of decoration would not be approriate given the historic industrial nature of the environment.
Don't lose the mysterious atmosphere; keep the old brick path and girders.
The purpose of the scheme si to make the atmosphere stronger and cleaning and repairing old features to their fromer glory is a key part of the scheme.
However the bridge will have to be replaced as it is unsafe.
Make cycle access.
The access will be shared by all forms of traffic (pedestrian, cycle and vehicular). Limited the traffic flow will help cyclists howvere it si accepted that a further consultation exercise will be needed at a later date to ensure this is carried out effectively.
