Edgar Street Grid

Edgar Street Grid

The Edgar Street Grid is a major regeneration project taking place in Hereford city centre. Stanhope have recently been named as the main contractors. Costing almost £1bn, this will be the biggest redevelopment project in the 1000 year plus history of Hereford, and is intended to restore the city's reputation as a key shopping and business destination in the region. Work is expected to start in 2010 and take up to 15 years to complete all phases, providing some 1,500 new jobs as well as 600 on construction work. Traffic problems on Newmarket Street / Blueschool Street, which will become a pedestrian friendly boulevard, will be eased by a new link road running through the site, from Edgar Street to the rail station junction with Commercial Road.

Zones

The project creates three distinct but interlinked zones - the Retail / Leisure Quarter, on the council owned 12.5 acre old livestock market; the Civic Quarter, to contain a mix of public buildings, private offices, shops and restaurants; and the new Blackfriars Urban Village, where around 1000 new homes will be built.
