Art at the Centre
Slough High Street is at the heart of the town centre. It provides a wide variety of shopping, business and entertainment. The Art at the Centre scheme has transformed the High Street by using contemporary design in the form of attractive patterned paving, lighting and seating as well as better use of open spaces and improved traffic management measures. New public art also injects colour, style and uniqueness with interesting links to both the history and present day of the town
There are plenty of new attractions in the new-look High Street, making it a much more enjoyable place to shop and work. Slough Borough Council is building upon this success through further regeneration schemes taking place in or near the town centre, all aimed at securing long term economic benefits for the centre and town as a whole.
