As part of the Howick Local Board multi-year renewal project of the much-loved Highland Park Library, more improvements are coming soon.
Firstly, the layout for the public toilets will be changed to turn one toilet into two. We'll also bring them both up to modern accessible standards.
Two new canopies will offer much-needed shade to the external courtyard. During summer, it’s bustling with kids’ activities and other events. By installing shade, the same area can also be used more often, increasing library space just in time for Summer.
A few trees in the courtyard are being removed as they create a mess and slip risks. To compensate, additional trees will be planted near the library entrance.
Works start on Monday 21 July with the toilets planned to be completed by mid-September and the external area by late-October.
