Thoughts please. Personally, I imagine it'll start off as a novelty then peter out. Might be good if you've got a vendor's licence in the meantime though!

All the town centres around here are pedestrian only. You park on the outskirts of the centre and walk through.

I don't see the problem.

I'm thinking there can't be much trade anyway for it to have gotten this far :? :|

Corn street is the main access to the craft and book market in Bristol (is that open on Sundays?).
I guess if the contain the pedestrians to a few street that'll help congestion in other parts of the centre

Same here. My local town centre has been blocked to traffic for years.

I remember Oxford street being closed for gas works.
It was great. They should pedestrianise it.
