Thankfully, the shop only lasted the proverbial 5 minutes.

It's Awful , and out of keeping with the rest of the buildings. It belongs on a holiday resort sea front.
I don't think responsible parents with be taking their kids in there to by sweets and gums to ruin their teeth, its hard enough to find an NHS dentist these days.

You really couldn't make that up! It's completely out of character!

It might have been interesting if managed properly. However, many model boats do create a lot of noise, pollution and general nuisance. But to be fair, I find CART's stance a touch hypocritical and bordering on NIMBYism.

The problem with Bridge Street is that it's one of the main thoroughfares through Stratford. Every time it's closed, traffic comes to a complete halt as extra traffic is diverted to Brum Road (which is permanently clogged up anyway) or Shipston & Seven Meadows Road (which isn't much better during rush hour.
The idea of building a 'Stratford Ring Road' occasionally raises its head, but is quickly shouted down, because people don't want a new road built through their nice quiet suburb/village (usually the same people who complain about the amount of traffic in Stratford!)

It's been a while since I've been to Stratford but the island in the picture was always a nightmare for pedestrians, and I'm surprised that there weren't more accidents, especially with all the tourists.
I'm really not sure what could realistically be done. Pedestrianise the 'centre' apart from out of hours deliveries?

Permanent planning permission for the Ferris Wheel will just be waved through, as it'll be a nice little earner for the council: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news/district-divided-over-plans-for-permanent-summer-slot-for-stratford-wheel/
