How far will a disabled shopper walk whilst going around town though Bernie... a lot further than the hop from Crawshaw Street to the shops. You can argue that it will be nearer the Arndale if that is shoppers' preference. What happens when they go home and get to their bus stop ... surely will have much further to walk with heavy shopping ?... buses aren't door-to-door.

I think the civil square will also open better pedestrian flow to Little Blackburn Road, Peel Street, Infant Street, and any shops on the other side of the square. Certainly, will not be put off by all the buses up and down Peel Street ... 'tis a nightmare crossing there.
