There will also be extended on-street free parking at the top of Trelowarren Street from 30 minutes to an hour, paving repairs in Commercial Square, the installation of enhanced lighting and CCTV and the provision of cycle parking.

A community drop-in session is set to be held at Create CIC between 10:00 BST and 18:30 on 3 September, when residents can learn about planned roadworks and traffic management arrangements during the construction period.
