Our Union Street

We want to re-energise Union Street

Union Street is not what it used to be - it’s not what it should be, and it’s not what it can be!

People care about the state of Union Street; they care that many retail units sit empty and uninviting, they care about graffiti, litter, dirty buildings, weeds growing on balconies and the general upkeep of the street.

They want Union Street to be a safe, busy, energetic, thriving thoroughfare that compares favourably with the best of the UK’s small cities. And they want somebody to take responsibility for addressing these challenges and improving the street; a consistent, concerted effort with plans, actions and progress. That's where Our Union Street comes in.

‍Join our volunteer army

We are building a community that is passionate about Union Street and improving our city centre - and we would love for you to be a part of it.

We have mobilised a volunteer force which is already making a difference by cleaning up attractions, freshening up unloved and empty shops and developing digital assets to help sell the Granite Mile to the world.

We are looking for volunteers of all abilities to join us as we look to re-energise the street. Whether you are a skilled tradesperson, developer, tech expert or just want to lend some elbow grease to our efforts, we want to hear from you.
