Trinity redevelopment phase 2

Inspired by the campaign to install a water-slide on Park Street, plans are under way to install an external slide around the Trinity Centre building. The special 'rainbow' slide measures almost 22m in height and will take centre users on a journey from the rooftop of the grade II* listed building, all the way to the bottom.
Centre Manager, Emma Harvey said: "We've been thinking of an easier way to get people down from the upstairs of Trinity for some time - we explored options such as fireman's poles and conventional escalators - this option seemed the most in-keeping with the building and organisation."
As well as the new slide, the second phase of development works will also include installation of loud-speakers on the towers - replacing the toll of the bells in the tower, the speakers will play Jimmy Cliff's I Can See Clearly Now on the hour as a way of keeping everyone aware of the time of day.
