Trial pedestrianisation launched in Cutting Room Square
The Council has launched a six-month trial to pedestrianise one of the busiest and most popular neighbourhoods in the city centre.
For the next six months the roads around Cutting Room Square will be closed to traffic, with views being sought on how the public feel about these changes.
