Re: Blackburn road - in front of town hall.
I too am part of the 95% so I have accept that the building of Eastgate was a smart move. The old Abbey Street route had 2 sets of traffic lights and average traffic speeds were very slow. Traffic flow speeds were greatly increased by introducing 2 extra sets of traffic lights and a slight increase to the length of the route.
I think what they should do, to increase the number of cars still further, is to hide the bus station away, behind some buildings away from the town centre - oh wait, it appears they have already thought of that one.
