Church Street Public Realm Improvements

Progress

• Church Street improvements are now complete.
• Work began last year to create a more open, pedestrian-friendly street, with improvements including new block paved footpaths and roads.
• The Church Street and Church Square improvements were funded by the Tees Valley Combined Authority, National Lottery players through the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) and Hartlepool Borough Council. 
• The new layout will make it easier for parts of the street to be closed to host future events such as markets.
• Public art works have been placed in Church Street - including plaques in the paving.

“These much-needed improvements will enhance and celebrate this historic quarter of Hartlepool, creating an attractive and revitalised environment for people to enjoy and in which businesses can flourish.”
