I remember when traffic could drive through the town, but all streets had double yellow lines so you couldn't park where you liked, anyway. Selfish idiots would sometimes park on one of the roads, creating gridlock. I remember when the bus station closed in 1992 and businesses in Wyndham St couldn't cope with the fumes from buses and cars that frequented it. There are a few streets that you can drive along. I don't get this thing about wanting to fill our town centres up with cars again, apart from the laziness of wanting to park as close as you can to the shop or place you want to visit.
