Case Study: Stockton High Street
Stockton Council completed a major regeneration of Stockton’s High Street with a project value of approximately £20m and cost of the lighting elements being in excess of £1.5m. Including the central area focal point, the illumination of a number of key structures and buildings, dedicated spaces for the regular and specialist markets and other events, and new lighting installation.
The project provided an opportunity to completely transform the area to meet the demands of the town centre, both now and for many years to come.
Stockton’s recent history recognises its role as the ‘North East’s Capital of Street Arts’. Stockton International Riverside Festival (SIRF) has created an important signature and personality for the town. One of the major aims of the High Street regeneration was to improve the quality of the experience for shoppers, visitors, and to local businesses.
The main ethos behind the scheme was to create an environment that, through the delivery of a great public space in the town centre, would attract people in, inspire them to spend longer in the space, to interact with others and to engage with elements within the space, and thus add to the vitality and vibrancy of the town.
An initial manufacturer proposed solution was rejected as in essence it simply provided a more modern version of the existing lighting scheme (but utilising white light High Intensity Discharge lamps), and with a large number of lighting units that was ‘at odds’ with the vision for a modern clutter-free public realm. It offered very little to the aesthetics of the built environment with no ability to create a differing experience to shoppers or visitors.
In addition to the original commission SLDS were asked to work with the council on creating a lighting masterplan for the High Street project and also to provide a lighting feasibility study for the project which would eventually lead on to full lighting/electrical design for the complete High Street scheme.
