It's far from clear what is meant by "severance of the highway layout", so cannot support this. I see absolutely no need to reduce the existing speed of traffic through this area.My fear is that "rediscovering the high street" will be a retrograde step leading to traffic jams and increased pollution, particularly if additional non-electric buses are permitted. The third column of objectives is fine. However, the objectives absolutely need to include maintenance of the efficiency of traffic throughput, which was excellent before all the traffic lights were introduced, and is now moderate - anything even worse would be disaster.
