Stourbridge High Street is at present unhealthy(from traffic fumes),dangerous(from traffic),noisy(traffic again),and very congested due to shoppers negotiating very narrow pavement and avoiding cars.
These factors make it no place to relax and enjoy being there.
There is nowhere in the town centre where you can stroll along casually in the open air while shopping The obvious solution is pedestrianisation.
How relaxing it is to shop in Bromsgrove High street,where this has been done.
I also feel that High Street traders could gain through more customers being to attracted to what is really a lovely street.
