TediousTom Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 A step in the right direction, in the right direction indeed. With my withered auld bones it is rather hilly and as such i do not utilise the town centre of of Paisley as much as I would like. Some on street parking somewhere around pen corner would be just the ticket to tempt this old forum user back into the toon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is plenty of on street parking in the area at present and you don't have to drive along the pedestrianised area to access it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty? Every time I pass by the few parking spaces up at the "howff" and outside that rough pub opposite they are always full. I refute your assertion of "plenty" and submit a counter arguement of "no enough". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isle Of Bute Saint Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 It wouldn't make any difference to the shops if it was opened for traffic during the day.I agree its too late now. Was up recently getting new glasses from Blacks in New Street it was nice to see the town busy. Walking down the high street towards the cross looking over to the town hall and abbey I said to myself what a good looking town. There is not many towns in Scotland that look so good. Just a pity they covered up the Cart with concrete. Imagine a river running through the centre of your town and covering it up , somebody must have got a bung for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opening up the High St serves no purpose at all,a total waste of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 ^^^ This. You'll also end up with folk getting knocked down at 6.05pm as cars start to fly up and down the High Street. Wow, flying cars. Paisley is really at the forefront of technology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSS Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I'm guessing it'll be one way heading West?What will happen where High St meets New St?MORE traffic lights or maybe Give Way signs which will be an accident waiting to happen.

shull Posted May 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 It's people buying in the Shops that the High Street is needing. Not cars passing the Shops. Braehead is packed and disnae have motor vehicles traversing down it's Mall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
