Projects: Blackheath Interchange and Public Realm

The Blackheath Bus Interchange and Public Realm project aims to encourage more people to visit Blackheath town centre without using cars, reduce traffic and congestion through town centre streets and create an inviting public space at the heart of the town centre.

The project Full Business Case was approved by Government in March 2022. The project team have since undertaken a number of activities in the background to further develop the project and carried out further community engagement to ensure the project is supported by local people. 

How will this be achieved?

• A new bus interchange implemented around Market Place for all Blackheath Town Centre services
• A landscaped public space in Market Place
• Five new pedestrian crossings
• Pavements around Market Place decluttered and some widened
• More loading spaces closer to businesses
