With the ambition of adding vibrancy and enhancing time spent in the city, the tree lighting will give autumn and winter late afternoons and evenings a warm glow for city centre commuters, visitors, and residents as they move through these the city. 

Following the installation of lights in nine trees on Victoria Street’s in December 2021, we added illuminated fifteen trees in Temple Gardens with in October 2022 and set about searching for other locations where we could make a difference. Jacob Street and Portwall Lane were identified as key pedestrian and cycling routes where lighting the walkway would instil a feeling of safety during the darker evenings.  

We’re really pleased with the feedback we’ve received about our winter tree lights with people commenting on the difference they have made to Victoria Street and Temple Gardens, we hope the additional lights installed this winter will have a similar impact on the two new locations.
