News on Wick Map (Streets for All)

Spring is almost upon us and we have lots of updates to share with you. The Develop stage of the Wick Street Design Project is well under way, kicking off with our Design Festival earlier this year.

At the beginning of this stage, we asked you to work with us to address the issues raised during the Discover stage. Over 100 Wickers of all ages and abilities took part in a range of design activities to develop solutions for those issues.

The project team have spent the last few weeks analysing all of your comments, drawings and design ideas, and created a summary of the interventions that you said you want to see in the town centre.

Our Spring Newsletter will catch you up on all the events and the analysis carried out by the team during this stage so far. To be in the know, pick up your copy at the following locations from 28 February 2020:

Parent and Toddler Design Workshop - 27 Feb

On 27 February, we will be back in Wick to find out from parents of young children what improvements could be made to the town centre to make it a more accessible, playful and safe space for their children. Pop in to Newton Park Nursery between 3:30pm and 5:00pm for our Parent and Toddler design event. See our Facebook event for more information.

Spring Fun Day - 18 April

Keep your ear to the ground for more details about our Spring Fun Day, a community event delivered in partnership with a range of community organisations based in Wick and wider Caithness as part of the Big Spring Clean 2020. Featuring entertainment and craft stalls, as well as a competition for the kiddies, this event is sure to be a lot of fun! We will also be showcasing our design proposals that will be based on the interventions you said you want to see in the town centre. Keep your diaries clear on 18 April 2020 for some springtime fun.
