most cases require lifting and relaying on a solid sub-base. In some areas setts have been overlaid with concrete or asphalt. The train tracks will need to be repaired and any voids filled with a suitable compound to make them suitable for pedestrian access. Where possible, bollards, capstans and mooring posts will be repaired and retained in situ. Where this is not practical, they will be carefully removed, restored and reused in appropriate locations within the public realm.
