The Bankside area has benefited from a range of measures delivered by the Better Bankside Business Improvement District to make the area more attractive, safer, greener, and more pedestrian friendly. A wide variety of measures have been implemented, alongside campaigns to change travel behaviour, such as:
- Using wayfinding and street improvements to promote walking routes
- Creating new public spaces
- Installing colourful pedestrian crossings, designed by artists
- Providing a temporary ‘boardwalk’ to extend narrow footways
- Greening streets with street trees, planting beds and raised planters
- Installing creative feature lighting and artwork
- Providing a cycle freight delivery scheme to reduce number of vehicle trips in the area
- Promoting delivery consolidation for local businesses
- Trialing an innovative business waste micro-consolidation scheme
