Waitrose are staying open later. They have been opening earlier for a couple of months now and are now staying open longer.
This is the view from Queens Street to the Market Place. This narrow passageway is likely to be more used in future as there are taxi halts through there – intended to replace those on East St. Helen Street …
and so notices saying ‘Taxi Rank This Way‘ and ‘East St. Helen St. Rank has Closed‘ .
Perhaps cigarette bins have been there for a while but it is the first time I have noticed them on the Market Place. Some places also have chewing gum bins.
So there are also extra taxi spaces outside Barclays but the average motorist hasnt noticed the change in road markibfs judging by the number that are still parking there
Just catching up after being away for a few days – nobody will probably see this comment, but I just love the photo from Queens Street into the Market Place – it looks positively Dickensian and you’d expect footpads around the corner. Maybe not the image of the town centre we want to portray but I think its great!
