Good afternoon all. I was down at the harbour / promenade at today and boy was it hot out in the sun. Some changes have occurred since I was last there.
At the "Seagull" end I believe a barrier is in place, which has already been broken once. Due to the heat I did not go to that and for a picture.
However you will see from the first picture that at least two of the Cafes have taken over a very large are in front of their tiled forecourts. Tables and chairs are out covered with large umbrellas. Whether this is "with permission" I do not know. But it seems strange that only a couple of weeks ago you were not allowed even to put an A board sign out. Surely ow others will follow suit, unless a good payment has to be made.
At the other end or the prom ie "Rose Corner"..... The cafe there is open for business. But it is now called Harbour Cafe.
At the road junction where you turn left for Paps or Debenhams, you are now allowed to go straight ahead. This road seems to be one way and it is for access to the harbour car park, and for buses and general deliveries. Where you went into the car park for the last 8 months there are no entry signs. This is where you come out of the one way road through the car park. Some are disregarding this no entry, possibly because it has been the only car park entrance for so long.
There is also a green taxi rank, and a blue bus bay, that you can see in the pictures.
Please add any more news if you have any.
Best wishes. Trev
