The plan, when it was published last year, included 24-hour “bus gates” on Bachelors Walk and Aston Quay restricting passage to public transport only. The civil society organisations said they also wanted to meet Mr Shakespeare to discuss the changes to the plan, which they pointed out had received 80 per cent support when it was released for public consultation last year.
In addition, it said “time-bound bus gates, like those previously seen at College Green, lead to poor adherence and ineffectiveness, often requiring constant enforcement”. “It is concerning that the democratic process which involves input from all quarters of society, over an open and public consultation period is now potentially being disregarded, in the eleventh hour, for the benefit of a powerful lobby group representing the interests of a small number of city centre car parks, whose business model will always be opposed to any efforts to reduce car traffic in the city centre.
