Having seen ‘some’ comments on Shape-Your-Place and others in the press…..
It would appear that ‘we’ at WTC did not consult or take notice of ‘Public’ opinion.
I have to agree that although the due process and consultation was completed correctly, that ‘the project’ seemed rather rushed through (Because the money allocated had to be spent by April 2015) so we were told.
When discussed at WTC on several occasions, I believe we only received (corrected 2) letters opposing the planned move.
The projected was very well advertised and personally only received questions on ‘Why’ the move was taking place.
I admit that at the time I was very sceptical of moving the Bus Stop from the Market Place, but Yes I did vote with the rest of the councillors for the project to go ahead.
Several of my ‘concerns’ were addressed and one major one did not come about, that being a ‘proper and safe’ pedestrian crossing…which the rest of the councillors supported.
However there was not sufficient funding to do this – which I still argue, that ‘peoples’ safety should be paramount.
More on this subject to follow……
