There needs to be more talk about how car infrastructure has a detrimental effect on the character of town centres.

The cafes and bars at the end of my local high street moaned quite a lot, in the local paper too, about part of their end being closed off to vehicles when it was first introduced

When it ended, they were asking for it to be made indefinite. Worked out way better for everyone.
