One business has already been killed in a beloved corner of Rammy
Business owners on a street that was pedestrianised during the lockdown say they will ‘struggle to survive’ if the plans to reopen the road to traffic goes ahead.
“A 24-cover tiny restaurant like ours just can’t survive - the numbers just don’t add up. We need those extra covers outside to make enough revenue during the summer to get us through the quieter times. That’s just the basic maths, I’m afraid.” “It’s there to skip the lights, basically,” he explains. “It’s not necessarily a road for traffic and there’s very few car parking spots.”
James believes that the area could join the likes of Chorlton and Northern Quarter in its reputation as a place to socialise. 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.
Re-opening the street on April 17 could also mean that businesses will also miss out on outside trading during the King’s Coronation bank holiday weekend - a big time for the hospitality industry.
