‌Armada Way was a critical element of the rebirth of Plymouth after the blitz of World War Two, a wide ceremonial and direct boulevard connecting the railway station to the Hoe, but in recent decades has laid tired and neglected. There’s even going to be changing rooms as it will be hard not to get wet with all the water play. The water will be recirculated around Armada Way through a rill running the entire length of the proposed scheme and be used to water plants and trees. In a few months time I think Plymouth families will flock to Armada Way and businesses will start to see a revival. Council leaders say Plymouth’s time has come and Armada Way could indeed be the catalyst for it all.
