Proposals include:
- Creating a new transport hub in front of the train station - with better bus stop provision, a taxi rank, cycle parking and space for cycle hire, and a new planting scheme.
- Relocating the existing pedestrian crossing to create a new direct and wider entrance to and from the station to the town centre.
- Creating a new pedestrian street, with lifts and steps, directly into The Springs to draw footfall into shops.
- Providing new residential apartments and space for offices and cafés so that Station Road becomes less of a town centre bypass - and so that the train station and developments in the former bottling site next door are better linked to the town centre.
- Car parking for the station and new housing/offices would be provided as an undercroft to the new development areas.
