Regarding the pedestrianised Market Square;
I think this is a very good idea, but perhaps it might be taken further;
There is urgent need for a reduction in traffic- especially heavy goods, in South Street. At the lower end, opposite the Police Station, the road is extremely narrow, and the pavement is not wide enough to walk in safety- Perhaps a weight restriction, plus 20 mph speed limit might help? A much better alternative would be an 'access only' restriction.
We have a perfectly good by-pass in place, which could be made more 'user friendly' by re jigging the one way system.
