I think that a CCTV controlled enforcement system, like the one in Reading would be much better.


Problem with that is, it's not instant. Many of the events held in the market place have to be insured, and the premiums paid will be based on the fact that confused drivers are not driving around in amongst the people gathered there.

fair point...How about a barrier system similar to the ones in the CarParks?  A barrier pass to allow entry, and the barrier would only hit the roof if they tried to get under it..  I also think there are too many signs.  It causes sign blindness.  One big sign saying NO ENTRY (conforming to traffic rules of course)

Mumm...  what events in the Market Place?(!!)  Have also seen 'confused' taxi, bus and Post Office vehicle driving beyond the bollards.  Anyway, great country town sport smashing up confused vistors cars - ought to make it a feature, would be quite a draw!

They are allowed, the assumption being that they aren't confused...
