| Mat you are clearly right. The prospect of a single day without cars on CHR is exciting. Cllr Hearn tweeted a couple of weeks ago that "a couple of councillors have spoken to a cross section of local businesses and have encountered not just a 'lack of support' but some outright hostility to the whole concept of a car free day". Notwithstanding the fact that one would hope that residents elect councillors to represent their interests, not just those of local business owners, Cllr Biddolph's description above of the responses from traders suggested that there was more of a range of opinions including some positive ones. Maybe there is some light at the end of the tunnel. We would need support from local councillors to make this happen. Perhaps you would have more luck in persuading them not to be "uncreative twits" than Karen given your respective positions on the original plan for CS9 and the unfortunate conflation of the two totally separate schemes in the minds of some local people. |
