Latimer Sqaure changes
The period for submissions on improving Latimer Square
closed on 31 October. Following the submissions’ collation
and analysis by an independent research
company, staff are preparing a report for
Council to decide on the square's
future, including whether to narrow or
close Worcester Street through the
middle or leave it as it is. The report will also take into account
earlier consultation with the Latimer
Square community and the 1991
Neighbourhood Improvement Plan, as
well as inner-city revitalisation and
heritage considerations. Council is
expected to make a decision before the
end of the year. Meanwhile new lights
have been installed along the park
boundary of Latimer Square West in
response to community concerns about safety and security
in the area after dark. |
