The public realm improvements to Regent Rd are almost complete.
The work is designed to “transform vehicle-dominated streets into pedestrian and cycle-friendly streets”, with Regent Rd becoming one-way (and the traffic reversed on Market St).

Such sad news to hear that Nobby Stiles has died aged 78.
Nobby battled Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia for over 15 years, and even had to sell his precious medals.
But we should remember Nobby for the legend he was - a "dog of war" as Sir Bobby Charlton called him. RIP.
