Last night's Christmas Extravaganza was perhaps less memorable for the entertainment on offer, than for the fact that only half the lights came on following The Great Throwing Of The Switch. But what a pleasure it was to walk down the middle of a temporarily traffic-free Market Place, one of the least pleasant thoroughfares of this otherwise most pleasant town. I made a mental note to visit the library on my next trip to check out the Council's "Town Design Statement" which includes a proposal for this traffic bottleneck. A neighbour tells me that the plan is for some sort of "shared space" where pedestrians and motorists would be placed on a more equal footing. A recipe for disaster with those on two legs at risk from being mown down by those on four wheels - or a civilised co-existence between man and machine? I look forward to finding out more...
