Pedestrianise High Street
Increase capacity of Websters Way and open access to London Hill
I agree that the High Street has great character that should be retained. I also agree that redevelopment of 60s buildings is desirable with the aim of increasing and modernising the environment.
I would support a decision to pedestrianise the High Street from Crown Hill to London Hill.
I would support Websters Way being redeveloped as a 4 lane (two in each direction) road to alleviate congestion following the closure of the High Street. I would support a lane be available to allow a left turn at the Northerly end of Websters Way down London Hill.
I recognise this will increase traffic ascending London Hill but at the top there should be less congestion.
