Why can't the present bus station be refurbished, to state-of-the-art standards, if funds are miraculously available?
As for danger, I sometimes struggle walking, but slapped down Union Street to Lily Mae's recently, and it was very dangerous crossing the road down there, with cars whizzing round the roundabout.
Lily Mae's was lovely, but it won't be a regular haunt, being too much of a struggle getting there, and the distance from the market, and the usual town centre places I shop in.

Cosmetically it would be good to have a new bus station. Would the money be well spent on building a new one ? Personally I think the millions it will cost would be better spent on revamping the town centre and the current site. Yes I'm biased but I really can't see how a new bus station built elsewhere would benefit the town. Mind you what do I know, I only have a business in the town and live here
Out of curioisty I wonder what Nelsons new 'interchange' has done for them, from what I've been told it hasn't made a jot of difference to the town
