Seafront closure

Someone please pursue the seafront closure too. I'm sure the wishes of disabled people etc can be accommodated. Perhaps a half way house would be in order with people discouraged from using Shore Road with a 10 mile an hour speed limit, or perhaps a one way system with Shore Road for incoming and De Moulham Road out? Safety issues aside, it's the parked cars on Shore Road which I feel are most aesthetically unpleasant.Well-designed streets can boost rental values and property prices by 5 per cent, new CABE research has found. The streets really are paved with gold! see: http://www.cabe.org.uk/default.aspx?contentitemid=1956

The closure of the seafront made it a sterile no mans land. The daftest thing they ever did.

The consquences are that the Victoria Avenue traffic lights cannot be crossed, because the road into town is jammed and no room for more traffic.

Those unable to walk cannot be dropped off at the beach.

It’s a wonderful area where kids can safely play and pedestrians stroll. It should extend from the Pier to Ocean Bay

So give us a relief road, and close all the car parks so visitors have to use the park and ride or use public transport.

Easy to create a dropping off area.

What a stupid statement.

Pedestrianization is the future for town centres, its safer, quieter and cleaner.
The sooner it happens the better for the town, as far as i can see the only objectors are a by a few selfish car drivers and residents of DeMoulham Road.

and walking onto the pier is like walking through a supermarket car park
