When published last year, the plan included 24-hour “bus gates” on Bachelors Walk and Aston Quay restricting passage to public transport only. “We are already putting in mitigations but we don’t really know are they needed or not needed. The actual plan itself went to full consultation ... so I can’t see why we’re not just implementing it in full, with a review period to make any adjustments or changes if there are any unintended consequences,” he said.
