Cumberland Council has unveiled plans to make Carlisle city centre ‘more vibrant and welcoming’.

The council is seeking the views of residents on proposals to install more outdoor seating, wider pavements, street furniture, cycle parking, trees and plants, while retaining vehicle access.

The council will begin a month-long consultation on the plans with residents and businesses next week.

It follows the regeneration of Carlisle Station and the construction of the University of Cumbria's Citadels Campus.

The council said it hoped to create a ‘meaningful activity zone’ and more space for people to spend time sitting outdoors.

It aims to ‘maximise the area’s potential, diversify the offer, increase footfall and attract and retain more people at the heart of the city.’

The project is being funded through the Government's Future High Street Fund and Town Deal Fund with the ambition of increasing footfall in the city centre.

Denise Rollo, the council's executive member for sustainable, resilient and connected places, said: ‘The proposals for Devonshire Street and English Street will enhance the area and make it more vibrant and welcoming.

‘The informal consultations will give the public, residents and businesses the opportunity to share their thoughts about the proposed developments.’
