Pedestrianise the town centre and you will kill off profitable businesses. It will become a great meeting place for youngsters of a night! People will shun the town centre if they have to pay parking charges for banking, one-off small shopping items, etc. The quality of shops are not that fantastic as it is. I never use Somerfield's new store because of the parking charge for shopping under £5. I don't use Back Lane carpark because of additional cost. Pensioners cannot keep affording the increasing charges. Come on. Open you eyes!!
