1. I support the benefits you are trying to bring to the Market Square ie less taxi ranks, 1 more disabled space, overall 2 more parking places.
2. BUT, you have not solved the problem of the tail-back of traffic awaiting parking and completely blocking West Street and also South and North Street at times. By reversing the entrance and exit cars could be queuing to get out too, together with these queuing to get in and needing to get between the taxi rank and the bus stop. This would cause impossible congestion and gridlock. This worsens even the present situation and needs to be readdressed.
