East Riding of Yorkshire Council plans to revamp the space at the junction of Skillings Lane with Welton Road in Brough

  • Published

Residents are being asked to share their views on plans to improve Brough town centre.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council (ERYC) is seeking feedback on draft design proposals to upgrade the public space where Skillings Lane meets Welton Road.

The project, in conjunction with Elloughton-cum-Brough Town Council, includes installing seating and raised planting, as well as improving grass verges near the war memorial.

ERYC leader Ann Handley said it is "a great opportunity for Brough residents to have their voices heard".

Plans also include options for improved lighting and seasonal decorations, while making sure the Roman statue remains a key feature in all designs.

Feedback will determine which proposals move forward to the next stage of the development, ERYC said.

Residents can take part in an online survey until 7 January or attend drop-in sessions at the town council offices on 4 December and 16 December.
