http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-22982940Thoughts 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.

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. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

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