After conducting additional evaluations and reinforcing the basements of some properties along Devonshire Street, we are pleased to announce that we can now reopen the pathways for pedestrian access.
Please note that we will maintain barriers over the light wells in front of John Taylor, Thin White Duke, Nationwide, Pizza Express and Scott Duff and Co. We kindly request that people refrain from removing these barriers, as they have been installed to ensure pedestrian safety.
We extend our thanks to all businesses and the public for their ongoing cooperation and understanding.
Cumberland Council is committed to working closely with the affected businesses, their occupiers, and will continue conversations with businesses next week. We extend our thanks to them and the public for their cooperation and understanding during this temporary inconvenience.
The Carlisle Place Project for Devonshire Street will continue next week, with the trial excavations resuming.
