Long Eaton Town Centre
Funded by the UK government, this project is shaping a vibrant, sustainable future for Long Eaton Town Centre.
Key developments include:
- A new central square will provide a gathering place for community events and activities.
- Architectural features, lush greenery, and comfortable seating will enhance the street’s aesthetic appeal.
- Features celebrating the town’s rich furniture-making heritage and the acclaimed local artist Dame Laura Knight will add cultural depth.
The project will improve wayfinding signs and non-motorised user direction signs. The long-term development will also create new visitor attractions in West Park and redevelop key sites like Galaxy Row. This project aims to boost the local economy, attract businesses, and create an accessible, attractive environment for residents and visitors.
BWB's Role
BWB played a pivotal role in the Long Eaton Town Deal, providing crucial expertise across multiple disciplines. Our integrated approach, involving our Advisory and Infrastructure divisions, ensured a cohesive and efficient delivery of key project components.

Designing highways for the community
Our highways infrastructure design encompassed everything from drainage and street lighting to geometric and pavement design. This included adherence to BS7533-101 for footways and paved areas, alongside meticulous road markings and traffic sign planning. Our team also supported the Traffic Regulation Order (TRO), recommending changes to the existing TRO, and produced drawings to be used in the statutory TRO consultation process
We provided essential HVM (Hostile Vehicle Mitigation) assessments and mitigation, enhancing public safety. Our structural engineering expertise ensured robust foundation designs for proposed hardscape features.
