New makeover masterplan unveiled for Derby station area     Major plans are being drawn up to regenerate Derby's 'Station Quarter' as council chiefs set out their vision to bring jobs and workers back into the city centre.

A new masterplan image shows the vision including the creation of a walkway from the entrance of the station to Midland Road, new entrance and signage to the existing station and new apartments and office space. The council says its focus is now shifting towards the Railway Terrace and Midland Road area of the city after seeing big regeneration change with its new £100 million Castleward estate which is not far off completion.   Find out more about the masterplan here
