This will be a death knell to the town centre as it is.......a bus station there, is too far out of the town centre.......will cause problems for the old and infirm and mothers with prams.
As for the bus station being moved because of a freak accident......I think if that had any bearing at all on the decision, then it is a knee jerk reaction and badly thought out.
The plans were for Crawshaw Street, which was the perfect location.

Not going to express my opinion again on this .. have said enough before.

It is sad that it has been ditched .. a new bus station was very much needed and would have been state of the art.Would have given outsiders a greater impression and encourage visits to our town.

Peel Street has never been a bus station, just bus stops causing congestion and danger. It buggers up the plan to replace it with a square which would have been extremely beneficial and more pleasing to the eye/useful than what is there now, encouraging visitors to our town. What's to bet you will all be whinging about it in the not too distant future.

No, the accident was not the cause .. just coincidental.

I am exasperated and upset ...
