Major demolition may be needed
Published Date:

Whilst I agree 100 per cent that we need to move on with the cattle market site we have to be realistic about how traffic is going to access the site.
There are narrow streets that are lined with cottages that are very old. The occupants have nowhere else other than the street to park their cars and yet with cars parked it is almost impossible to get the large lorries in and out of the site.
Answer that question and the problem is solved. Today I travelled in a coach from the north end of town along Eastgate North to the Eastgate car park. We got through OK with a little bit of shuffling.
I wonder if the residents of Eastgate North would feel that perhaps that is the better route. I very much doubt it and yet that was the route of cattle market traffic for quite some time.
There is no suitable answer to the traffic problem without major demolition somewhere and yet I cannot think that that answer would be well received by any of the apostles of the plan.
