Overview

St George’s Churchyard is one the largest green spaces in the city centre. At the moment it is an underutilised space that the city council wishes to transform into an open, public space for all to enjoy.

This will enhance a key gateway from the railway station into the Cultural Quarter whilst reducing instances of anti-social behaviour that have taken place within the Churchyard in recent years.
