Re: Broadway....dug up!

Perhaps they're going to actually do something with part one with some of that cash.
Not a lot to comment on really is there?. As an outsider I feel bad for criticising so in advance I'm sorry. But its just a strip of tarmac with flags each side and chrome street furniture. There is no design as such, or not worth mentioning. The blackburn centre from just two pictures, you can see is far better, thats how Warrington is.
Here looks old, real stone pavements or riven flags, stone kerbs, cobbled streets, real stone market square, all done 10 years ago to get rid of the concrete block paveing that had been laid everywhere in no pattern or design.
Lots of bollards along pavements which are slow disappearing and not being replaced. We have no pedestrian zone, the shops are against it because thay say they need delivery accesss and will lose car trade, despite the fact that most of the cars use it as a short cut. It is one way though. I look forward to the day when it is and we can have cafe's with tables out, benches, trees, features and be able to walk free.
You've got that and they haven't made the most of it, that such a shame.
