Comments collected at our public consultation 14 July 2007

Controlled traffic crossing needed for High Street.
No more coffee shops please (eg Costa, Rams Walk)
Confusing pedestrian crossing on High Street.
Lavant Street: More thought should go into the design of buildings before they go up. Lavant Street is a prime example of thoughtless buildings.Why is the street not more used by people? Because it has no beauty anymore. Build yes if you have to, but keep it in sympathy with a beautiful character town.
High Street congested. Pedestrains only? (on Saturday’s and Wednesdays?)
The Village needs a controlled crossing for older residents to get into town.
More parking places for disabled people in the Square, please - there is only one at present!

Lavant Street should be one way.

Litterbins need closing lids.
