Whilst I entirely agree with the 2 previous posts the point I was making was that whether they live in Herston, New Swanage or Durlston people still drive into town to shop. So, let them drive to Herston and Park and Ride into town - or do their shopping in Herston.
This should reduce traffic thru the town centre and help to support Swanage rail.
Please bear in mind that if someone did a survey we, the public, are incredibly good! at giving reasons why we 'need' to drive and can't use public transport, or even walk - perish the thought!
This town, is coming like a ghost town All the clubs have been closed down This place, is coming like a ghost town Bands won't play no more too much fighting on the dance floor
Do you remember the good old days Before the ghost town? We danced and sang, And the music played inna de boomtown
This town, is coming like a ghost town Why must the youth fight against themselves? Government leaving the youth on the shelf This place, is coming like a ghost town No job to be found in this country Can't go on no more The people getting angry
This town, is coming like a ghost town This town, is coming like a ghost town This town, is coming like a ghost town This town, is coming like a ghost town
Definately not. I entirely agree with a second storey, but that should be for housing.

Build a huge Tescos at Herston. Drive to it, park and then fill up with cheap petrol :o)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea.
ReplyDeleteAnybody remember The Specials and their seminal 'Ghost Town' track?
Certainly do. 1981 wasn't it?
