North Laine group wants a walkable labyrinth in Jubilee Square

The North Laine Community Association is proposing a permanent labyrinth in Jubilee Square, outside the Jubilee Library, and wants to hear from people who use the square. The plan was first reported by the Argus².

A labyrinth is a single path that winds to the centre, with no dead ends or wrong turns, so you can’t get lost in it the way you can in a maze.

The group’s feedback form says the labyrinth would be “fully accessible, step-free and free to use”. The group says it would complement how the square is used now, giving people waiting outside the library or meeting friends “an attractive focal point”.

Nothing is decided. “This is still a proposal, and public feedback will help shape what happens next,” a spokesperson for the group told the Argus. “Whether you are enthusiastic, unsure, or have suggestions for improving the proposal, your feedback is important.”

The form asks how often you use the square, whether a labyrinth would fit its character and what your main concern would be. It also asks whether more greenery or seating nearby, better evening lighting or dedicated quiet hours would make you more likely to use it. The group says it will publish a summary of answers to questions people send in.
