    A project by Bradford Council, that has transformed a key gateway into the city centre, has scooped a top national award, beating off stiff competition from projects including London’s Oxford Street.

    The old railway arches in St Blaise Square, which is next to Forster Square railway station, have won the Outdoor Lighting Project of the Year Award at the Lux Awards - which recognise the best lighting projects from across the country.

    The judges cited the lighting at the refurbished Saint Blaise Square in Bradford for its ‘transformational’ quality in providing a safe, clean and attractive environment.
