Some visitors have said:
“I am disabled. Restricting vehicular traffic prevents me from accessing services in Castle Road. It is thus discriminatory.”
“It’s a road, vital for people and businesses to access.”
“People live here and the closure has affected how people can access and park by their own property. Also affects visiting friends and family.”
“Roads are the arteries (like veins in a body) to a city, start closing them & you are moving traffic to other roads.”
