Ashford Planters and Street Furniture

Adding vibrance to the High Street: Creating a Pocket Park with custom street furniture on Bank Street

As part of Ashford Borough Council’s wider regeneration efforts, this project delivered a vibrant, modular streetscape intervention along Bank Street in Ashford town centre. The installation featured colourful planters, benches, green screens, and other street furniture designed to energise the public realm. The work forms part of the council’s ongoing ‘Super 6’ programme that aims to revitalise key town centre spaces.

The design approach focused on delivering improvements that could instantly enhance the character and function of Bank Street. Each element was carefully chosen to support footfall, greenery, and make the area more visually outstanding and inviting.

Modular Design

Bespoke-built elements allowed for flexibility and quick installation to respond efficiently to the council's requirements.

Greener Streetscape

Planters and green screens softened the landscape, introducing an added layer of greenery to the street.

Integrated Seating

Timber benches and street furniture features were incorporated into the layout to encourage social use and greater accessibility

Vibrant Colour Palette

Planters and street furniture were designed in bold colours to create visual interest and uplift the atmosphere of the street.

The project successfully contributed to a more attractive, people-focused street environment that supports Ashford’s visions for the high street and borough.
