Thanks, also walked past on Friday night. Such slow progression. Really shameful for the council.

To be fair to the council, the work is being done by a private contactor, and the delays are due to having to fix additional underground services.

Topham Mall is looking good at first glance

[Norman]

This mirror thing is now on Bank Street.

The Topham Mall thing is now sporting... something else.

The ACC was going to hold supporters of the Frome St bikeway in those cages.. I guess letting crows eat political prisoners alive was seen as too 'medieval'

Yes I asked about its disappearance myself lol

Possibly a lighting feature?

[SRW]

Presumably it’s the interactive lighting public art we’ve been waiting for since 2013. I did see them testing light tubes on Sunday morning.

The lighting installation looks nothing like the renders... and is absolutely hideous.

What they've done at street level is looking good though.

Compared to what was there before? I'd say it is a vast improvement.

[timtam20292]

Agreed with Patrick, much better looking than what was there prior.

Add me to the "happy with the improvement" list

Personally, it looks like some of the cages one might find in Pattaya, but that's just me....

Bentham Street
Signs have gone up advising that the road will be one way from 1 January



Topham Mall
Plant pots have gone in and some engravings added to the concrete blocks. Seating has also been installed.











Bank Street
The street has been cleaned up and more flowers added. Looks fantastic! I just wish that green building was overhauled or demolished.
