The project, which will cost £851,000, was developed to create “a smarter, more pleasurable feel” to the area between the centre of town and the train station.
The scheme for improvement has undergone setbacks since it began in January this year and was recently rejected entirely and restarted. Only part complete, it was discovered that the builders working on the project’s paving had used the incorrect grout.
It was declared by the Borough Council of Swindon that the paving placed in Wellington Street was of an unacceptable quality. This judgement has led to a delay of up to five weeks. Councils needing to notify its constituents of limited access to public areas can use poster printing services to provide information in local community areas such as town halls and libraries.
A spokesman for the local authority commented:
"Wellington Street is a key gateway into the town centre from the railway station and we want to ensure the work is completed to the highest possible standards."
The new improvements to the vicinity, which also include a zebra crossing and separate lanes for the safety of pedestrians and cyclists are expected to be complete by the beginning of June according to Swindon Borough Council.
