Local contractors Landbuild were awarded the £925,000 construction contract in 2021 and work started last summer.
The scheme includes free public Wi-Fi, better lighting, comfortable seating areas, cycle racks and landscape planting – all aiming to encourage people to visit the town centre and support local businesses.
