It will be like one of those things that you don't really want, but once it is there you will love it. Like mobile phones, computers and children  |
Well I'm with Kate on this one. Peel Street never was a bus station - take away the shelters and we might get a better look at the market hall and all those new stalls that cost a fortune. They should have done the bus station first and put the stalls where the shelters are to make a proper market square.
And is it really that far from the proposed bus stops to the market? I don't believe that people don't have to go to Broadway or the Arndale for some things even if they normally shop in the market. It might help trade in those areas too. We should be encouraging footfall throughout the centre which isn't that big an area rather than confining it to one part.
