It is vital for the local economy that people are attracted into the city centre to work, shop and play. The Council is therefore re-paving Grafton St as part of the ongoing works to improve the area around Grafton St and South William St. The old red brick pavement has seriously deteriorated, and has become dangerous both because of gaps and because it is slippery when it rains (which is all too often). It will be replaced by granite paving, with the work starting in February and continuing for approximately a year.
The Council will work with local businesses to keep disruption to a minimum. Click here for more information on the plans.
