FOR once, I agreed with a letter from Christopher Wardell (HAS, July 11).
There is a need for more visitors to spend time and money in Darlington’s town centre.
Darlington has some good attractions like St Cuthbert’s church and South Park.
What visitors are greeted with is a non-existent bus terminus, and a hopeless pedestrian heart, which is only half the town centre.
The middle bit is for buses and, at times, it resembles a fairground dodgem ride.
We need to put the Monday and Saturday market back in its rightful place in the market square, and make parking prices more realistic.
It’s time this council started listening to people like Beryl Hankin, who runs the Guru boutique, or the town really will be dying a death (Echo, July 14).
John Brant, Darlington.
