Town Centre Masterplans

Representation Summary:

Pedestrianisation of the town square would be an excellent idea. If cars were diverted from the square it could be made aesthetically pleasing by planting small trees and shrubs. There is a perfectly good car park in Back Lane which could be used more. It has always struck me as a wasted opportunity to have a town square made into little more than a car park. Also, many drivers enter the square far too fast and anything that would limit car access to the square would, in my view, be a very good idea. Good luck!
