FURTHER progress has been made on the redevelopment of Carlisle's Devonshire Street this week. 

More decorative features have been installed along with additional granite kerbs, Cumberland Council has announced. 

It follows the removal of the old road surface last week. 

This weekend, construction crews plan to make the final preparations for new asphalt laying.

To ensure that the project stays on schedule, work hours for the team have been extended.

 

On Saturday, June 15, work will be carried out from 8am to 4pm, and on Sunday, June 16, from 8am to 12pm.

Despite the works, the council has asked the public to 'please remember that businesses on Devonshire Street are open as usual'.

This includes businesses such as the Thin White Duke, Scott Duff & Co, Connelley’s Wine and Cocktail Bar, Le Gall, Eaten by Monsters, Sweet Tooth, Nationwide Building Society, Santander, Greggs, Black Box Architects, Paradiso, John Taylor, This Time, The Temple Art Collective and Pizza Express.

Businesses in Friars Court are also still open for business, these include Print Yard, Beauty @ Solo and Hair Works.

The project is on track for completion in the summer.
