So that half a dozen benches could be placed to...... allow oldies to sit and stare!
That doesn't bring in any revenue.....you don't have to buy something to park your bum on a bench.
Priceless!!!

Quite agree.
The actual renovations are top notch.
However the decision taken, to take away space for stalls, which prior to the work supported thriving businesses, in order to 'liberate terrain', was idiotic.
If something isn't broke, which it hadn't been for 150 years, don't fix it.
