If that is true, the 414 will become even more congested.

And so will the Bengeo rat run.

A trader that I know on StAndrew's Street says he knows nothing about it, and I'm sure they would have been consulted. Sounds like just a silly rumour to me. It would serve no purpose.

Sounds like a bad case of Chinese Whispers to me. I think someone's got confused with the work currently taking place on the pavements in St.Andrews Street.

An old lady told a pal of mine that it will only be pedestrianised on the last three Saturdays leading up to Xmas - shades of Oxford Street then.

COme on. Think it through folks. St. Andrew's street has a car park on it. Are people going to have to airlift their cars in? And I'm sure Cross & Palmer won't be too pleased, having to shut for the three saturdays before Christmas.

Won't hurt to shut the car park if they are providing free buses into the town from several pick-up points.

Have to agree with James, its a stupid idea. What about all of the revenue the Council will loose from the Car Park fees? What about the implications on the traffic on Gascoyne Way and the rat run? What would be the point of pedestrianising a Street such as St Andrews Street, or would you let all the Saturday Market stalls open up their to promote their wares for Xmas? Should'nt the original date of this topic read 01/04??

If it brings in lots more revenue for the town they will see it as the correct decision one presumes...

If you can give me a relavent reason to how shutting a road off and closing down a town center car park will encourage people in to coming in to Hertford, I will shut up, eat my hat and pop a big pan of water on the stove to boil my head in. If not, can we please move on to the next topic or have a beer. thank you.

The streets won't be polluted for a start so that will encourage trade.

Could we just have a reality check here guys. There is no proposal to pedestrianise St.Andrew Street.
