A facelift for Longton’s town centre

Longton’s Times Square is getting a facelift. Stoke-on-Trent City Council plans to spend almost £2 million to transform the town centre.

At a recent meeting, the city council’s cabinet members agreed to allocate £1.985 million towards the project, which will improve pedestrian links and reduce traffic congestion.

The work includes pedestrianising Times Square and changing the road system. New paving, railings and lighting will be installed in Baths Passage and Strand Passage as part of the improvements.
