Which clown thought that one up? By all means move the bus station - that's long overdue - but a car park on the site? What planet are these people on? Get that old bus station turned into a town square and do some serious pedestrianisation with the rest - that way, we might get a successful town centre again. Oh, I forgot - shut down some of these dodgy bars and their crackpot schemes.

Not sure how much the bid is for the bus station but the Arndale is now up for sale. 16.7 million, clear out all the shops and it's a ready made bus station, probably cheaper than the proposed one

They could call it a retro development in as much they could turn the rest of the land into a sunken garden and car park

Not sure if this one is a dig at me...... However i was party to some information on the whole bus plan scenario, The plan was to have a square built their by the old regieme that were in power, unfortunatley the funds were pulled back, however they are still trying to work out whether to make it pedestrianised or re open the road outside of the town hall as its causing a lot of confusion.

Its down to a finance thing that they town sqaure idea was not given the go ahead, however the free 2 hour parking scheme will give the market and other traders in the town some form of extra income and possibly a boost.

If the comment was aimed towards myself and my venue, please be aware we do not run a dodgy establishment and i take huge offence at that being that we are the only venue in the town that serve plastic bottles and glasses, not through incidents through the fact that we did this off our own bat as we feel that flash moments can happen at anytime, and i wouldnt want any relative or family member to go through what happens to people who are injured on nights out through moments of madness in bars, protecting my customers is my upmost priority

Surely the use of "plastic glasses/bottles" is more reflection on the clientele you and other venues who use them attract... why would normal responsible sane folks want to visit venues when they know the venue ataccts undesirables ........ ok 'stereotyping' is supposed to be a no-no , but if it walks like a ducks and looks like a duck and quacks like a duck .... it's not rocket science , sorry no service

Well the removing of the pedestrianisation outside the town hall will not make that much difference, I've been visiting the Town Centre on a regular basis recently and numerous cars ignore it already

It's more a reflection on the society we live in, especially for nightclubs etc

Quite obvious you've never worked the door at night clubs SJ they were using plastic glasses back in the late 70s and early 80s, removing lethal weapons out of arms way
