Join over 10,000 organisations who’ve used the Growth Hub’s free business support

The Dunstable High Street Regeneration Phase 2 Improvements scheme has transformed the High Street environment within the centre of Dunstable by widening and decluttering footways, improving the street scene and wayfinding (phase 2) as well as reallocating the carriageway and installing an extensive system of sustainable urban drainage (phase 3). Car movements have been de-prioritised in favour of pedestrians, cyclists and users of public transport services as well as creating a more attractive and vibrant High Street for residents, visitors and businesses.
