broadway

Go for it. I spent 10 days in Accy over the last week and it was saddening to see what our once proud little town has been reduced to.
 
Did you know already around £30,000 worth of damage has been caused to the new flag stones due to a security vehicle driving over the newly laid stones. It's going to look nice crazy-paving don't you think?
 
Noted today.

Lovely white chewing gum on the nice new black tarmac. Even the special steam cleaning machines can't shift it off tarmac.

Noted today a truly awful design.

I would be interested in exploring this further.

Where did you find out about this?
 
I remember earlier in the summer a Security vehicle driving down Broadway from Union Street, resulting in at least two anxious parents having to snatch toddlers out of it's path. What is the point of having a pedestrianised zone if these things are allowed to drive where they like. It was going to pick up cash from the entrance to the Arndale. Surely that is what the Arndale has service entrances for?

Nice photo -i remember it being like that when I was a little girl so it's probably the very early 70's.

It used to be crowded out for the annual Carnival Procession -do they still have that I wonder....

you bring up a good point because i too have seen people running for their lives and have seen a few near misses in the past from these secuity vans either speeding or refusing to slow down at all for people who havnt noticed them coming up behind them until the last second.

they should be made to walk from the main road they have helmets and other protection.The only people that should be allowed to drive in the pedestrian zone are police and ambulance not some moron who thinks walking more than 3 feet to a shop door is an unacceptable risk :rolleyes:
