WORK to turn a city centre taxi rank into a new pedestrian square has been completed.
The work to Rawson Square was part of a £2m National Lottery funded project to improve Bradford's Top of Town area.
It has seen the square, which until recently was a taxi rank and traffic island, pedestrianised, with new seating areas and tree and flower planting.

It is hoped that the work will see a boost to the fortunes of the area. In recent years neighbouring Rawson Place has been dominated by derelict, empty units.
But one recently re-opened as a jewellery store, with plans for the full refurbishment of another approved earlier this year.
And an application to turn the nearby Rawson Hotel unit into a restaurant has also recently been approved.
