As for closing the roads, especially Castle Street , I thought this was done to enable the construction of outdoor eating areas to support the opening of pubs and restaurants, which I think is a great idea.
It might have been if it had been done in consultation with the businesses it will affect but it wasn't, it was completely arbitary. I and others I have spoken to believe it is another step in the anti-car lobby in the council trying to close Castle St permanently. They have been trying to do it for years, and do so at every slight opportunity.
