Northbrook Street Pedestrianisation Options

[CBW137Y]

Hi all

I shall remove this thread when I have the information required, as it's not really a rant or news of any sort, but I thought I'd post here as someone will know the answer!

Does anyone remember what year Northbrook Street was pedestrianised, albeit during business hours?

Ta muchly in advance!

I think that it was quite a bit later than that. I think it was 2005 or 2006. The plaque in the marketplace outside the Corn Exchange will probably give a clue about when it was officially opened and the restrictions placed on the market place and Northbrook Street.

Yes it was 1998 that Northbrook Street was "pedestrianised". It was the resurfacing that came later on that I was thinking of. Now I think about it I do remember that there was a pedestrian crossing with lights put just outside Cap Hopson immediately before the traffic restrictions were put in place! Always seemed like poor planning to me.
