I apologies for no posts over the weekend, I had a rather nice few days away. I hear that Bury was rather exciting over the weekend, a couple of sources have told me that Bury’s road and parking infrastructure couldn’t cope with the number of shoppers coming to the town.
Not sure if this means that I should praise local councils for there foresight and imagination, bringing people to Bury for the new shopping centre.
OR
If I should criticise them for not having enough foresight to realise that the shopping centre was going to need additional parking and a complete upgrade of the local road infrastructure.
I vaguely remembered two or three years ago, Councillor David Nettleton telling SEBC that there was going to be a massive problem with parking unless something was done before the new shopping centre was built.
I think David has been vindicated.
See www.paulfarmer.com for the real facts.
ReplyDeletehmmmmmm, maybe a little biased, from what I hear many people were not able to get near the car park, lets hope this is just a temporary problem, i concede the fact that two car parks were out of order.
ReplyDeletei was stuck on Tayfen road for the better part of an hour
ReplyDeleteThe Cattle Market car park was closed off at 10:35 on Saturday morning when an SEBC traffic manager placed 4 cones at the entrance from Parkway. I was standing right next to him. Where was Paul Farmer?
ReplyDeleteAt 10:50 the entrance to the Parkway Surface and Parkway Decked were similary coned off. I was standing directly opposite. Where was Paul Farmer?
At 11:00 a traffic manager told me that every car park in Bury was closed. Thereafter, traffic managers periodically removed 2 cones to allow 10-20 cars in to the Cattle Market car park until 15:25 when for the first time in 5 hours more cars were leaving than entering. I was standing right there. Where was Paul Farmer?
that sounds a little more like the report i heard, sorry Paul, but i think you've been out voted on this one.
