Improvements to the A591/High Street Junction:- This retains much of the existing layout but results in a more efficient use of the space available, reducing the open nature of the junction. All turning movements are maintained but traffic lanes are clearly defined with road markings, coloured surfacing and a new traffic Island. The entry to Lakeland Ltd and the Rail Station is treated with coloured surfacing to a 'Gateway' feature. Carriageways and footpaths are generally resurfaced with bituminous materials. Cycle lane surfacing will be renewed on the A591 eastern Approach to the town along with new 'SLOW' markings on the carriageway. A new pedestrian controlled crossing will be provided on the A591 to the West of the High Street Junction.
