The city now has a glimpse of the new walkway through the former Broadmarsh Shopping Centre site which will eventually feature views of the new 'Green Heart' with a Major Oak the focal point. It is hoped the new green space will be completed shortly after the opening of the new central library next year.
Foundation work has been taking place on the new walkway, that's being developed between Collin Street and Lister Gate. In the future it will feature boarding similar to the existing route, however 'windows' will be installed so work on the new green space, called Lister Square, can be seen as it takes place. A new sign has also been put up.
The city council said the new pedestrian route was due to open in September, with the current pathway, through a covered tunnel from Collin street to Lister Gate, replaced by the new path.
