The Lincoln Town Centre Upgrade will be delivered in four stages to support Lincoln’s growth and ensure works are carried out safely and efficiently.

We are currently in Stage One. Stage One focuses on upgrading Gerald Street between Kildare Terrace and West Belt, marking an important first step in future‑proofing the town centre.

Stage One is focused on:

  • 124 new car parks (69 in the Northern carpark, and 47 in the Southern carpark), completed in August 2025 – read more here.
  • Slow speed zone, safer for traffic, pedestrians and cyclists
  • Adding cycle lanes
  • New Gerald Street plaza to bring community together, more accessible for pedestrians
  • Multiple pedestrian crossings.
