Pride of Place

CV One, The Landscape Group and Coventry City Council work hard to compliment themed beds, parklands, pathways and tourist attractions by ensuring that these key sites are well maintained and supported by well positioned, informative signage. In conjunction with these efforts, street furniture is kept clean and safe whilst artistic statues and freshly laid pavements are encouraged as part of the sustainable street development for the public to use here in Coventry. Roundabout signage can be found throughout the city centre sponsored by the Coventry in Bloom campaign with local businesses enthusiastically offering their support. Fountains and city landmarks, new steel benches, litter bins and poster sites are clean and well maintained with car park poster sites and local street signage carrying the ever important Bloom message. Modern, metal signage now sits alongside the older signs of medieval Coventry ensuring that key tourist attractions and local landmarks such as Coventry Cathedral and University Square are adequately sign posted. Sponsored planter boxes bursting with floral vibrancy all year round add colour to the city centre whilst working to promote local businesses in the area.

The multimillion pound redevelopment to transform Ironmonger Square in the city centre is now successfully completed. The fresh and contemporary space is paved with sandstone and features great new seating, lighting, litterbins and 13 new trees to add greenery to the area. This space provides a clean, safe and open environment for shoppers, pedestrians and visitors whilst providing another alternative space for city centre events and promotional activity.

Work has begun in the much loved Cathedral Lanes area to develop and improve the Broadgate precinct in time to welcome the world for Olympic Football taking place here in Coventry during 2012. The area will become completely pedestrianised providing the perfect location for a full range of events, designed to be flexible enough to accommodate virtually anything, live music and markets included. The changes are aimed at making the city centre a more attractive place to live and visit, encouraging high quality bars and restaurants to boost Coventry’s night time economy whilst making it a safer environment for people to enjoy in the evening. Coventry City Council are also working hard to redevelop other areas in the city such as the route from Coventry Train Station to the city centre; two subways will be closed providing safer andThumbnail : Severn Trent - New headquarters : Click image to enlarge brighter access to shops and other city locations. Areas of the city centre are to be de-cluttered by removing unnecessary traffic signals to better show off Coventry’s wonderful new buildings along with older, famous heritage sites. The former Coventry sorting office will soon undergo a £50 million development to transform this area of the city - the brand new, prime location will include a new supermarket, fantastic student accommodation, health centre, swimming pool and a better connection toThumbnail : Fingerpost signage : Click image to enlarge Coventry’s fantastic Canal Basin - one of Coventry’s best kept secrets. Work shall also begin on redeveloping central shopping locations such as Bull Yard, Shelton Square and City Arcade. By working alongside the council, CV One and The Landscape Group will work to open these spaces up, provide fresh planting with new beds and trees to be used in transforming Coventry in time for 2012. The hope is that these new developments will go some way to improving Coventry’s reputation, increase city centre footfall, show off the wonderful features we have here and restore the pride residents already have in the city, encouraging outside visitors, investors and returning business.

As part of the lottery funded developments at the War Memorial Park, work has taken place to thoroughly cleanse the iconic memorial Cenotaph which takes pride of place in the park grounds.
