Carlisle Southern Gateway - Traffic Regulation Order Statutory Consultation

In Autumn 2019, Carlisle City Council secured £19.7 million from the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) and Town Deal Fund and for a package of improvements in Carlisle City Centre. The overall vision is to create a distinctive, coherent, and inclusive City Centre. This initiative aims to enhance the perception of Carlisle, increase social value, and ultimately boost economic performance by attracting more residents and visitors, thereby increasing demand for services.

The enhancement of English Street, Victoria Viaduct, The Crescent, and Botchergate is a key component of the Carlisle Town Deal programme funded from the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC). The improvements include wider footways and the incorporation of new cycling infrastructure. New seating, the introduction of biodiversity, and added greenery through planting are planned to improve the streetscape, making it a safer, more secure environment encouraging the use of open public spaces in the City Centre. To facilitate these improvements, we are proposing changes to the Traffic Regulation Order as detailed in the documents attached.

Carlisle Southern Gateway public realm and access improvements on English Street and Botchergate at a key gateway to the City Centre. The project will provide a high-quality environment, contributing to the sense of place and showcasing Carlisle as a key city.
