Although I have not been directly involved in the consultation of this very ambitious ‘plan’ – ( I have attended meetings where it has been discussed) – some would call it ‘dreams again’ – sometimes ‘we’ need aspirations (not dreams) and to have NO plan what-so-ever is a plan for disaster….not future.
So whilst I accept and thank those who were involved in this document –
I and many other commentators are somewhat sceptical and cynical of ‘what’ is actually achievable – living in the real world.
Example – moving the ‘Market’ – unfortunately our Friday Market has been in serious decline for a number of years, it has been tried – to no avail in regernerating it… most Fridays 3 stalls is the norm. To ‘try’ and move it to the High Street – again is not very practical – it is suposed to be a pedestrian zone – I suggest both FDC and the Combined Authority sort this out first – as on most days and worse on Fridays of numberous motorists and ‘Van Men’ flaunting the exsisting law – putting pedestrians at risk – I doubt if placing a few market stalls will make any difference.
