I do feel that the Square is unique and should remain accessible to as many people as possible. Reducing car parking space will reduce the number of people and hence affect retail and other business. It does not seem logical to widen pavements if it is less accessible to people. The taxi stand within the Square should be removed to Ship Lane car park area but retaining 3 or 4 spaces opposite the bus stop.
Overall, I agree that we must think about improvements but there is really not much wrong with what we have now.
