Street furniture is a key element in the design and function of outdoor spaces. It provides structure, supports safety, encourages good behaviour, and adds to the overall appearance of public and private environments. The right street furniture can significantly improve the way a space is used and enjoyed by the community.
Safety and Traffic Control: Items like bollards and speed ramps help protect pedestrians and control vehicle movement, reducing the risk of accidents in busy or high-risk areas.
Cleanliness and Organisation: Litter bins and storage bins help keep outdoor spaces clean and tidy by encouraging proper waste disposal and providing easy access to grit or other materials during winter.
Encouraging Active Travel: Cycle stands promote cycling by offering secure places to store bikes, which can reduce car use and traffic congestion.
Comfort and Accessibility: Outdoor Shelters provide cover from the weather, improving the comfort of those waiting for transport or taking a break outdoors.
Space Management: Steel knee rails and similar installations help guide movement, protect green spaces, and separate pedestrian and vehicle zones without large or intrusive barriers.
Enhanced Appearance: High-quality public street furniture can improve the look of a space, making it more attractive and welcoming for residents, visitors, and customers.
Street furniture is extremely versatile and can be installed in a wide variety of locations, including:
Bollards: Used to create physical barriers for safety and security. Ideal for pedestrian areas, car parks, and building frontages to prevent unauthorised vehicle access.
Speed Ramps: Help control traffic speed in residential streets, school zones, and private car parks. They are effective at slowing vehicles down in areas with high footfall.
Cycle Stands: Promote eco-friendly travel by offering secure parking for bicycles. Suitable for schools, parks, workplaces, and town centres.
Grit Bins and Storage Bins: Provide easy access to grit or salt in icy conditions, helping to keep walkways, roads, and car parks safe during winter. Also useful for general outdoor storage.
Litter Bins: Encourage responsible waste disposal, keeping public and private outdoor spaces clean. Useful in parks, streets, schools, and retail areas.
Steel Knee Rails: Used to guide pedestrian movement and protect green areas from vehicle damage. Commonly installed in parks, verges, and housing developments.
Shelters: Offer protection from the elements. Suitable for bus stops, smoking areas, schools, and workplaces, providing comfort for those waiting or resting outdoors.
