Yes, I would like to see cars banned from Rochford Square. It is not only the square that is congested but the hold ups in South Street and East Street whilst cars try to get into West Street and also buses.
However I am very mindful of elderly and people with walking difficulties and the people who need disabled bays. There is only 1 disabled bay in the square at the moment and this is not enough.
Yes make the square pedestrian only but leave the bus stop where it is, as people with walking difficulties would not be able to walk down to the next bus stop, it is too far. Move the taxi rank to North Street and make those parking bays for the disabled.
