Some of our residents have said:

“It would be wonderful to have the Guildhall Walk to match the lovely square, to encourage restaurants and social venues to have outside space to make the first impressions when you come from the station to be look more cosmopolitan. It would regenerate the area. Much like the Palmerston road that now looks so much more appealing to visitors and for all who live here.”

“Stop fixing things that are not – and never were – broken. Re-open Guildhall Walk to traffic.”
