Rail to River Public Realm Project

The rail to river proposals have been informed by previous consultation which revealed a desire for public realm improvements in the town. The proposals form part of the Public Realm business case which is the second to be signed off by the project board and submitted to Government.

And, local people are once again being invited to get involved by coming up with ideas and themes for the art that will form part of the route.

The project will include:

• High impact public realm improvements: at the rail station and Purfleet Street;
• Pop-up opportunities: at least three pop up units to provide opportunities for start-up and small businesses to trial new products and services at Purfleet Street;
• New outdoor seating and tree planting: at the rail station and Purfleet Street;
• Secure cycle storage unit and facility: relocation of existing cycle stands on Purfleet Street, replaced with a secure bike hub facility in Baker Lane;
• Better navigation: 30 new finger post signs will be installed to make it easier to get around town. And, digital signage will also be introduced at the rail station that will also promote what’s on in the town;
• Artwork: from rail to river.

Anyone wishing to offer ideas and suggestions for the artwork, and/or sign up to the workshop can do so here Rail to River – Vision King’s Lynn by 5pm on Sunday 13 February 2022.
