The street where people say they 'won't survive' if traffic is allowed to go down it
Business owners on a street in Ramsbottom that was pedestrianised during the lockdown say they will ‘struggle to survive’ if the plans to reopen the road to traffic goes ahead.
READ MORE: 'If we're going out, we're doing it our way' - line-up for Oldham Coliseum's final show includes Maxine Peake and Christopher Eccleston James Tresnan, co-owner of Slate Barbers, says that the outdoor seating area is good for morale and has ‘created a really nice vibe around the town’. “Because of this we’ve been able to do wine tastings outside, work with the other businesses, and just help create a really nice environment for people to enjoy. All of us have to be off by 10pm, which has always been the case, but it’s definitely not a rowdy or noisy street.”
In a Town Centre Plan published last year, Bury Council acknowledged that the pedestrianisation of the street had been ‘welcomed by residents, appreciated by visitors, and helpful to local traders’. The plan also proposed permanently pedestrianising the upper part of Square Street to support an 'evening economy' and provide a unique selling point for the area.
“Sadly, we might not survive that period and that’s really upsetting but that’s the bottom line. We’d already researched better, more aesthetically pleasing outside structures alongside possible retractable roofs and all-weather set ups. We’re putting that all on hold as without licensing assurances you can’t pursue investment like that in the current climate.”
“We’ll be able to do Easter weekend, but it looks like we will miss out on the King’s Coronation weekend and other bank holidays coming up,” Rebecca at The Vineyard says.
