What Would You change About Dunstable’s High Street?

That is the question being put to local residents by Central Bedfordshire Council who want to hear from you on how to improve the high street to enhance the town’s character and encourage people to spend time there.

In consultation with Highways England, Central Bedfordshire Council are planning to carry out improvements to the street scene to make the area look and feel more like a high street in an historic market town, but before plans are drawn up Central Bedfordshire Council want to hear ideas from the community.

Dunstable’s high street and crossroads have played a key role in the town’s proud history, but over the years increased levels of traffic has led to heavy congestion and has caused the town centre to lose some of its sparkle.

When the Woodside Link and Highways England’s A5-M1 Link (Dunstable Northern Bypass) roads open in 2017, traffic will be diverted away from the centre of Dunstable and the high street will no longer be the main through-route for motorway traffic. This will allow a lorry ban to be put in place throughout the town centre so that much needed improvements to the street scene can be carried out.
