Pier Link
The St Annes High Street Improvements Phase 2 Pier Link project is a key project proposal in the St Annes Masterplan, which will seek to deliver improved connectivity between the promenade and the town centre remodelling the link between the Square and the Pier, which will also link to the improved public realm space created through the Phase 1 St Annes Improvement Scheme.
The project supports a key aim of the St Annes Masterplan, to revitalise the town centre for it once again to become the focal point, encouraging economic activity and a more diverse mix of uses, stimulating high street businesses. The project will also help to improve pedestrian experience and encourage more visitors to the sea front to explore the town centre and vice versa.
The Project is expected to cost £1,597,000 and will be funded by Lancashire County Council, Fylde UKSPF, funded by the UK Government, and Fylde Council’s capital programme.
The start date for the project is the 23rd February and it is expected to take 18 weeks to complete once construction works begin
Garden Street
The St Annes High Street Improvements Garden Street project forms phase 3 of the St Annes Improvement.
The proposed scheme will involve public realm improvements to a significant section of Garden Street and the junction of Garden Street and St Annes Road West as part of the St Annes Masterplan delivery.
The £1.5m project is fully funded by Fylde Council and Fylde UK Shared prosperity funding.

Granite is a strong, durable material, but like any outdoor surface it can develop staining over time. In shaded or damp areas, algae and other vegetation can begin to grow on the surface, giving the granite a greenish appearance.
Regular upkeep makes a big difference. To help maintain their appearance, the Council has now added the granite seats to the official Maintenance Schedule. They will be cleaned every six months, which will prevent algae build‑up and keep the seats looking their best for the long term.
