The map illustrates the situation of lslip’s town

centre

right now and the development scheme in the future.

Overall

, a dramatic change will happen after the transformation. Recently, a main

road

extended through the

centre

and divided the shop

area

into two sections.

Additionally

, the countryside is located to the north of the northern part of the shops,

in contrast

, a housing

area

is established to the south of the main

road

. At the same time, a school is placed in the southwest of the

centre

, leading off the main

road

and by the right end of it. On the other side, there is a park. Based on the development plan, the main

road

is going to be extended and constructed as a circle dual carriageway surrounding which consists most of the regions of the town

centre

. In the

road

circle, the southern part of the shops will remain where they are right now. Excluding the original southern housing, new housing builds will be constructed in the

area

which will simultaneously lead to the reduction of the park size.

Furthermore

, the main

road

will be limited as only pedestrians can pass along it.

Besides

, the northern portion of the shops will be replaced by several facilities that will involve a bus station, a shopping

centre

, a car park and a new housing

area

which can arrive through a sideway leading off the carriageway.
