Tobermore prides itself in fostering strong working relationships with local authorities across a multitude of public realm projects. Below are a few examples of some noteworthy collaborations. Let’s take a look!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Leeds Public Transport Investment Program (LPTIP)\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n

Client: Leeds City Council<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Products used: Braemar Block Paving<\/a> – Alto Silver & Jura Grey <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

West Yorkshire Combined Authority and Leeds City Council invested millions of pounds into a \u201cpeople-first infrastructure\u201d to make travelling around the city easier, quicker, and greener. The goal of the project was to create a world-class public space and arrival gateway to the city centre for trains, buses, pedestrians, and cyclists.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tobermore supplied quality paving products to the landmark Headrow Gateway and sections of the Corn Exchange Gateway. The \u00a320m+ scheme has strengthened the provision for sustainable transport modes in the city centre and the wider Leeds district. <\/span>The Headrow has undergone a remarkable transformation, now serving as a focal point for buses while also introducing dedicated public areas, expanded walkways, and improved cycling lanes. These enhancements ensure smoother navigation through the city centre, promoting accessibility and fostering a more vibrant urban environment.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wolverhampton Public Realm<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n

With more than \u00a31 billion of public and private investment, Wolverhampton City underwent a stunning transformation with the help of Tobermore.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tobermore\u2019s innovative hard landscaping solutions, including the versatile Fusion block paving and stylish Manhattan plank paving, were strategically chosen for installation across 13 key streets within the city. Complemented by our Kerbs and tactile flags, these installations not only enhanced the aesthetic appeal but also fostered a contemporary ambiance, breathing new life into the urban landscape.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Camberwell Regeneration\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n

Client: Southwark Council<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Products used: Tetralock<\/a> Interlocking Block Paving- Mid Grey & Silver<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For the Camberwell Regeneration initiative, Southwark Council sought a resilient product capable of enduring the frequent traffic and pedestrian activity in the area.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tobermore rose to the challenge, delivering the ideal solution with Tetralock\u2014an interlocking block paving solution featuring shift protection on all five sides, ensuring maximum stability. This sleek and contemporary solution not only imparts a modern aesthetic to the urban landscape but also enhances durability. To inject a touch of uniqueness, Tetralock was specified in two distinct colours, adding an element of individuality to the revitalised space.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Hard<\/p>\n

Bedlinog Square<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n

Products used: Fusion Block Paving<\/a> – Silver, Fusion Kerb, Granite Step Unit<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council headed the plans to regenerate Bedlinog Square in Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales, in 2015. The construction contract for the \u00a3300,000 project, which was part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund through the Welsh Government, was awarded to Alun Griffiths.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As a public realm initiative, the choice of hard landscaping materials was a significant factor in achieving the desired aesthetics for the scheme. Already familiar with the quality paving and walling range available at Tobermore, Alun Griffiths had trust in Tobermore products. The contractor was not disappointed as Tobermore provided a full paving, kerb and step solution that created an attractive, modern look at Bedlinog Square.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Public<\/p>\n

Client: Coleraine Borough Council\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Product: Sienna<\/a> Silver & Graphite<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Over a comprehensive four-year regeneration project in the picturesque coastal town of Castlerock, significant efforts were directed towards enhancing its iconic seafront. Tobermore’s Sienna block paving emerged as a standout choice, with its sparkling granite aggregate finish that perfectly complemented the seaside locale. The installation of these paving blocks revitalised the aesthetic appeal of the area. Tobermore\u2019s Sienna block paving created an attractive hard landscaping accompaniment to the seaside location.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
