Great news, the limited trial pedestrianisation made the place much nicer to visit.
>The car-park owners said doing so would pose “insurmountable structural difficulties that cannot be overcome”. In addition they said the trials caused considerable congestion internally to the car park and its business dropped by 30 per cent from the first week of the trial
Watch them change it in a couple of weeks anyway
It was ridiculous having cars come out that way once the start of the street was pedestrianised.
Hopefully gives the restaurants and pubs more opportunity to have outdoor seating, except Pygmalion because its a dump.
Never understood why it wasn’t. Such a simple fix. Brown Thomas car park drivers exit by turning right and loop around Clarendon Street and then heading back onto South William Street up at the Metro Cafe.
Misleading headline, there are no plans in place to fully pedestrianise the street.
Finally! But it’s still not a commitment, probably years away and even then will be pushed back three times.
About time!
All it says is they’re adding an objective into the development plan, not actually doing any concrete work.
With the pace DCC work at that means we’re still likely decades away from it actually happening
Local business owners (i.e. carparks): THIS IS LITERALLY GENOCIDE!1!1!
More should be done to get rid of cars and traffic in the city, there should be a congestion charge imo and then that money can be put to use improving public transport.

So perish.
